The harm being done to children by unregulated pornography on the internet is becoming a matter of public concern not simply because of morality but because of the threat to psychological health. Winnicott’s conception of healthy development helps us see what is being destroyed by the perverse and sadistic imagery that can become compulsive to vulnerable young people. His view of the wider social picture encourages us to speak out about this form of child abuse.
