About the Author
Dolto, Francoise: - Starting to work analytically as a pediatrician in 1937, Francoise Dolto (1908-1988) belongs to the second generation of French psychoanalysts, and like D.W. Winnicott, worked intensively in pediatric liaison. Her book The Unconscious Body Image was a vital contribution to our understanding of child development. The millions who listened to her weekly broadcast on national radio felt guided by her as parents, yet Dolto is curiously unknown in the English-speaking world.
Praise for this book
"Freud's cases are unprecedented and unmatched. A record of errors, truths, and a mysterious depth we can return to, decade after decade, to enliven our questions about human suffering. Dolto's Dominique is the only other case I've found that rivals Freud, and brings us up to date, replete with questions of incestuous trauma, repressed sexualities, autism and cognitive disability, and profound sense for the contradictions of polite society and histories of colonial and racist violence. I love this child and encountering Dolto's otherworldly voice as an analyst." â"Jamieson Webster, author of Disorganization & Sex and Conversion Disorder: Listening to the Body in Psychoanalysis.
