« Instinctive satisfaction gives the little child a personal lived experience, but hardly affects the position of the object. I had the case of a schizoid patient for whom satisfactions eliminated the object, so that he could not lie on the couch: indeed, for him, it reproduced the situation of infantile satisfactions that eliminated the external reality or the externality of objects. I expressed this in a different way, by saying that the infant feels that he is "duped" by satisfactory feeding. »

« Some children are very clever in attracting abuse; they are trying to find bad parents in the current situation that they can hate. The internal "hate-for-hate" conflict becomes a conflict between internal hatred and externalized hatred. Relieved by this transformation, the children will be able to love the cruel foster parent. Unfortunately, at that time, foster parents will probably be comprehensible to those around them. »

« We can't just say to teenagers, "It's your turn." We must provide them, from an early age, in childhood and adolescence, at home and at school, with an environment that helps them and allows everyone to develop their own morality, to establish a naturally evolving super-me from the elements of the primitive surmoi of early childhood, and to find its own way to use or not the moral code and general cultural heritage of our time. »
