Françoise Dolto

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Françoise Dolto b. Marette (born November 6, 1908 in Paris ; † August 25, 1988 there ) was a French pediatrician and psychoanalyst . From 1940 to 1978 she headed the counseling center at the Trousseau Children's Hospital in Paris.

Life

After training as a nurse, she studied medicine from 1931 to 1939 . She completed her training analysis with René Laforgue . In 1953 she left the Société Psychanalytique de Paris with Jacques Lacan in protest against stricter regulation of training and then took part in the founding of the Société Française de Psychanalyse . When in 1963 the International Psychoanalytic Association forbade her to train psychoanalysts on the grounds that she influenced her students too much and did not adhere to the training rules, she and Lacan founded the École Freudienne de Paris a year later .

Françoise Dolto became known for her research on infants , children and adolescents . She viewed children as independent, serious personalities and took the view that a child was a fully-fledged subject to be respected from birth . According to their subject theory , it communicates in a symbolic world by sending out appeals with its body schema . With a caregiver who reacts authentically to these signals , a social relationship can be established with an infant even before it begins to speak . Acknowledging the child's subject status is, in her opinion, the prerequisite for his "incarnation". The child experiences this recognition in the encounter with the adult through his “true words”.

In 1979, based on her theory, she developed the concept of the Maison Verte (Eng. Green House). It offers a prophylactic socialization space where parents with babies and toddlers up to four years of age can meet. Here you can gather your first social experiences with your children and find exchange, advice and conversation. Children can also process separation experiences there in a protected form. The model was adopted in many countries.

Dolto changed the field of infant and mother-child psychotherapy permanently and has contributed to significant publications on the question of the unconscious body image . She expressly distanced herself from the incipient medicalization of psychology.

In France, Dolto was an institution in the media for decades, where it regularly commented on all questions of psychotherapy, especially child therapy and education. In Germany, where the Anglo-Saxon school of mother-child relationship by Melanie Klein , Donald Winnicott and Wilfred Bion is at the center of the specialist groups, their theory, which works with the fatherly dimension , was hardly received.

Dolto's thinking arose in a context that was still heavily influenced by the traditional authoritarian parenting. For this reason, it is being discussed in France to what extent some accents need to be set differently in today's permissive context. But that doesn't change the great recognition she still enjoys for her appreciation of the child as a subject and her theoretical work.
