Understanding the Language of Children – A Psychoanalytic Perspective
This book, compiled from materials presented at a psychoanalytic conference featuring Françoise Dolto, explores the nuances of language used between adults and children. It examines how children express themselves through actions as much as words, emphasizing the importance of truly listening to what a child is communicating. The text reveals that a child’s behavior is essentially a form of speech that needs to be heard literally, allowing adults to understand feelings the child cannot yet formulate or verbalize.
Dolto interprets the language of children to help parents recognize when a child is suffering, especially when faced with lies, omissions, or evasive silence from adults. The book guides readers in finding the right words to relieve "unnecessary pain" and foster genuine communication. It is a practical resource for parents and educators seeking deeper insight into the emotional world of children. Price: 920.00 RUR.
