their adolescence” [12] after learning about Pablo Picasso we can mention the severe trauma that the child Pablo Picasso underwent at the age of three: the earthquake in Malaga in 1884, the flight from the family's apartment into a cave that seemed to be more safe, and eventually witnessing the birth of his sister in the same cave under these very scary circumstances. However, Picasso survived these traumas without later becoming psychotic or criminal because he was protected by his very loving parents. They were able to give him what he most needed in this chaotic situation: empathy, compassion, protection and the feeling of being safe in their arms. Thanks to the presence of his parents, the two enlightened witnesses of his fear and pain, not only during the earthquake but

also throughout his whole childhood, he was later able to express his early, frightening experiences in a creative way. In Picasso's famous painting "Guernica" we can see what might have happened in the mind of the three-year-old child while he was watching the dying people and horses and listening to the children screaming for help on the long walk to the shelter. Small children can go unscared even through bomb-raids if they feel safe in the arms of their parents. It is much more difficult for a child to overcome early traumatizations if they are caused by their own parents. Here we have an another example. I analysed the childhood of the writer Franz Kafka. I’ll try to show that the nightmares he describes in his stories recount exactly what might have happened to

the small, severely neglected infant Kafka. He was born into a family in which he must have felt like the hero of The Castle (ordered about but not needed and constantly misled) or like K. in The Trial (charged with incomprehensible guilt) or like The Hunger Artist who never found the food he was so strongly longing for. Thanks to the love and the deep comprehension of his sister Otla in his puberty, his late "helping witness," Kafka could eventually give expression to his suffering in writing. Does it mean that he therefore overcame his traumatic childhood? He could indeed write his work, full of knowledge and wisdom, but why did he die so early—in his thirties—of tuberculosis? It happened in a time when he knew many people who loved and admired him. However, these

good experiences could not erase the unconscious emotions and memories stored in his body. Kafka was hardly aware of the fact that the main sources of his imagination were deeply hidden in his early childhood. Most writers aren't. But the amnesia of an artist or writer, though sometimes a burden for their body, doesn't have any negative consequences for society. The readers simply admire the work and are rarely interested in the writers' infancy . However, the amnesia of politicians or leaders of sects does afflict countless people, and will continue to do so, as long as society remains blind to the important connections between the denial of traumatic experiences in early childhood and the destructive, criminal actions of individuals. An American writer, Richard Bach, is well

knowing by his Fantasy and Philosophy. He solves difficult problems, which are connected with “Human psychology”. He does not have special education, Richard is only a pilot (in any case, he was…before he began to write). His first book was “Sea-gull”, than “breach through the eternity”, “One”, “Plane” etc. In this stories and novels Bach taught upon lots of different topics, and one of them is about childhood. This man deadly believe that a person cannot live without his past. And what do we have there, in the past? Of course, childhood! This topic glassed in one of the latest work: “Running from the safety”. The main idea of the plot is that “Richard-men” [13]( he prefers to write about himself rather then to work with heroes) meat

“Richard-kid”. It means that he, the old one, meat in his own world a little boy of eight years old. This boy is “HE”, but from the past. In this novel Richard Bach tried to answer the the question: ”What will you do if you meat yourself-from-the-past?” The own correct response he has able to find is “to learn everything what you can from this kid”. What can you learn from the little child from your past? What he can give us? This questions can appeared in the mind of everybody… in “Running…” Bach neatly respond to them: “he remembers all what I have forgot” Really, we have spoken about this already, all information which people get in an early age cannot be remembered further. But kids retain all this, cause it still in their active memory. Some
