4 h. ago ‘Are you asking for my help to be gay?’: what 40 years as a psychoanalyst has taught me about sex and desire

A married man’s hidden bisexual life; a PhD student’s sideline in sex work; a nun’s fear of pregnancy – over my long career, all have been laid bare in the intimate space of my consulting roomTo be human is to be uncertain, conflicted, divided, and yet we grow up in a world that tells us we should feel whole, certain of our sexual desires. Encouraged to see love through the starry-eyed cliches of social media and celebrity news, we’re diverted from asking ourselves the awkward questions: what is my desire? Why is my sexual self as it is?Psychoanalysis, too, has its own predictable narratives, but when done properly, it does not provide ready answers. Instead it offers a place where two people can be ruthlessly honest, think together, find meaning together. This work can change our understanding of ourselves, and in doing so change our lives.

6 h. ago Supporting kids with Send is expensive. But the cost of not doing so is far greater | Carrie Grant

Education, health and care plans have been invaluable for my children. Hints they could be scrapped fill me with fearCarrie Grant is a TV presenter and voice coach and a parent of four children with special educational needsThree of my four children have had full EHCPs. These are education, health and care plans, which means each child’s needs have been assessed and documented. They guarantee that appropriate provision to meet those needs has been agreed and must now be delivered by law. Well-written EHCPs are invaluable, particularly the legal part. Without it there would be no rigour, no meaningful challenge and, ultimately, no power to ensure that the right educational support is provided.Naturally, then, I was worried when earlier this year the government began discussing reforms, with the possibility of scrapping EHCPs. Ministers said they had inherited a system on its knees, with local authorities struggling to cope with the rising demand for support for children with special ...
