The child whose home fails to give a feeling of security looks outside his home for the four walls…. Children deprived of home life must either be provided with something personal and stable when they are yet young enough to make use of it to some extent, or else they must force us later to provide stability in the shape of an approved school or, in the last resort, four walls in the shape of a prison cell. (Winnicott, /1964, pp. 228, 231)
