Françoise Dolto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Françoise Dolto (1908–1988), was a French doctor and psychoanalyst, famous for her research on babies and childhood. Dolto revolutionized the field of psycho-therapeutic work with babies and with the mother baby dyad.
She worked with Jacques Lacan, and said that children have a language before the language (with the body). She has contributed to the question of the unconscious body image.
Françoise Dolto was the mother of Carlos (1943-2008), a singer; and the sister of Jacques Marette, a minister.
