He is of course The Boxer" (from the article Canine Clowns by Matthew Cowley) "The character of the Boxer is of the greatest importance and demands the most solicitous attention.

Our emotional, mental, and physical problems—not to mention relationship issues—may not be ours at all. They may be these effects echoing through the family system. Family constellations give the solutions to these effects. They reveal the past wrongs, suffering, and entanglements in our families and their …
