« To evolve, a man must be able to identify with his mother and father. The "father-mother-son" triangle must be able to form and replace the "mother-son" dyad. However, if the father is absent, there is no transfer of identification from mother to father; the son then remains a prisoner of identification with the mother. In these circumstances, triangulation does not have the opportunity to do, or it hurts itself; the immediate effect is that as far as their sexual identity is concerned, the sons remain clay-footed colossus. »

« Personality is formed and differentiated by a series of identifications. Identification is a psychological process by which a subject assimilates one aspect, a priority, an attribute of the other and is completely or partially transformed from that model. »

« The father's lack of attention meant that the son was unable to identify with him in order to establish his male identity; similarly, he could not feel sufficiently confirmed and secured by the presence of the father to move on to the adult stage. Or the example of the violent, soft or always drunk father has repugnant him to the point that he has flatly refused to identify with the masculine. »
