I Am Françoise Dolto, I Am A Psychoanalyst And I Tell Children The Truth About Life

Abstract

Based in the freudian psychoanalysis background, this article is a psychoanalyst’s testimony of the way in which Françoise Dolto intervened with her very young patients at her Consultation. The method is the direct observation of the interaction between the therapist and the traumatized child. After have explained the modus operandi of the Dolto’s Consultation, different clinical cases of psychotic’s children are exposed. The conclusion is that psychoanalysis can be directly transmitted: the disciple observes the master’s savoir-faire and actively participates to the cure’s experience with a psychotic’s child.
