« The repression of instinctive needs is only part of society's massive repression of the individual. However, because it is not only carried out in adulthood but from the first days of life, through parents often full of good intentions, the individual is not able to find in himself without outside help the traces of this repression. It is like a man who would have printed a mark on his back and who, without the help of a mirror, could never discover it. The analytical situation is one of those that presents this kind of mirror. »

« The "love" felt for his parents by the abused former child is not love. It is an attachment burdened with expectations, illusions and denials, and whose ransom will be very high. »

« We will not travel the path to the adult state by showing tolerance for the cruelties of which we have been victims, but in the recognition of our truth and in a growing empathy with the abused child. »
