When author Sally Rippin discovered her child was struggling to read, she assumed it would sort itself out over time. She couldn’t have been more wrong. Her son’s dyslexia and ADHD went unsupported for years, leaving him behind his peers and labelled ‘difficult’ by an education system that couldn’t easily cater to neurodivergent kids.

"El porvenir de una ilusión" es una obra de 1927 de Sigmund Freud. Se considera su principal obra sobre la religión, vista como un fenómeno social contemporáneo. Para Freud, la base de la religión es el desamparo humano. Una reacción infantil a esto es el deseo de un padre protector. En la religión este deseo se cumple, pero sólo en la fantasía, y en este sentido la religión es una ilusión: una fantasía de cumplimiento de deseos. El progreso de la ciencia lleva al reconocimiento de la impotencia humana y, por tanto, al declive de la religión; Freud se congratula de esta evolución.
