- Then he said, “And I a king–-not just a boy, not just a prince, but a real king.” 222 It occurred to me then, only in that moment and for the first time in my work with Sam, that the age difference between the two of us was exactly the age difference between the prophet Mohammed and his first wife, Khadija.
- You can’t decide which would be worse: getting the vaccine or getting COVID–-just as it must have been impossible for you as a boy to figure out which parent was worse: your mother who could be so sensually seductive with you but at other times physically abusive, or your father who could be so emotionally available to you but completely passive when it came to protecting you from your mother’s attacks.” Racial Tensions in the Consulting Room after the Murder of George Floyd After the horrific murder of George Floyd, which left me sick to my core, outraged, enraged, and horrified–-and yet in another way, not surprised, since such murders had happened many times before–-it was startling for me to see that many of my patients did not refer to Floyd’s murder at all on the day after it happened (May 25, 2020, was Memorial Day) or in the days immediately following.
- Since 2000, I had regularly worn these clothes to work in my office, to meetings and conferences, even to walk my dog near my home. But after Trump was elected, and trucks and motorbikes with MAGA banners and stickers would often whiz past my home, blaring loud music, I stopped wearing these clothes publicly.
- A patient in his seventies, who had suffered severe physical abuse as a young boy at his father’s hands, realized that he was incensed about the coverage given to George Floyd’s murder because it brought up his great rage at the fact that his cruel treatment had “never received any attention.” He exclaimed with pain and bitterness, “No one was ever held accountable for my abuse!

- His appearance is promising—that cipher on a sofa; He looks an invitation—though his potency is low; He reminds me of the daft dog that pisses on all bushes And keeps lifting up a leg when there's nothing left to pee.
- And then I wish that bond of union that you call so “blessed” Would bind him to that damsel till his back started working And that I were in bed with a boy who was fond of me. I bet you that husband of mine wouldn't half see the joke!
- Her ideal is to be “in bed with a boy who was fond of me,” (line 237) and she married her husband because he appeared “promising” to her.
- Often I squint past my book and cease my devotions To see which boy is made best and broadest in the shoulders, Or is forged with most vigour to furnish a banquet In the chamber of Venus—valiantly—minus all pretence.
- But the best joke of all is when barons and knights And my other boy friends come along to the house 245 And provides me with drinks and we have a good time.

- This restriction must have been cumbersome for an active healthy boy, but there were redeeming qualities in my grandmother's personality.

- One of my patients whose 'totem' was a dog dreamed how a dog was run over and lost a leg.
- A mother with this kind of aversion to the male sex injures the narcissism of the boy. A boy in his early years is proud of his genital organs, he likes to exhibit them to his mother and expects her to admire them.
- Whereas touching and even mentioning the penis is most carefully avoided by these women they tend to caress the child's buttocks, and cannot speak enough of the 'bottom', often getting the child to repeat this word; they also take an excessive interest in the child's defaecatory acts. The boy is thus forced to an altered orientation of his libido. Either it is transferred from the genital to the anal zone, or the boy is impelled towards his own sex, his father in the first instance, and feels himself bound to his father by a bond which is quite comprehensible to us; at the same time he becomes a woman-hater, and later will be constantly ready to make very severe criticisms of the weaknesses of the female sex.
