A quick definition of New York Times malice:

New York Times malice is a legal term that refers to a type of malice called actual malice. Actual malice means that a person knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. This term is often used in cases of defamation, where a public figure must prove that the defendant acted with actual malice to recover damages. Malice is the intent to commit a wrongful act without justification or excuse, or reckless disregard for the law or a person's legal rights.

A more thorough explanation:

New York Times malice is a type of malice that refers to the reckless disregard of the law or a person's legal rights. It is also known as actual malice and is often used in cases of defamation.

For example, if a journalist from the New York Times publishes a false statement about a public figure, knowing that it is false or with reckless disregard for the truth, they could be found guilty of New York Times malice. This means that the journalist acted with ill will or wickedness of heart, and without justification or excuse.

Another example of New York Times malice could be a company that knowingly produces a product that is harmful to consumers, but continues to sell it anyway. This shows a reckless disregard for the safety and legal rights of the consumers.

In both examples, the parties involved acted with a deliberate intent to commit harm, either to a person or to the public. This is what distinguishes New York Times malice from other types of malice, such as general malice or particular malice.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
