In her family, her grandmother Vilma Kovács , her aunt Alice Bálint and her husband Michael Balint practiced the profession of psychoanalyst. Her father was the owner of the Hungarian publisher Pantheon and the author of several novels. Her parents had Jewish ancestry and converted to Christianity in the 1920s. Dormandi grew up in the apartment building in Budapest's Mészáros utca , which her step-grandfather, the architect Frédéric Kovács, had built and which was also the seat of a psychoanalytical outpatient clinic, initially headed by Sándor Ferenczi and then by Michael Bálint, as well as the Hungarian Social Psychoanalytic Clinic in the interwar period . The anti-Semitism in the Horthy regime prompted her parents to emigrate to France in 1938, where she survived the German persecution of the Jews. Dormandi studied medicine in Paris after the Second World War and received his doctorate in pathological anatomy in 1955.

She is a member of the Association psychanalytique de France .

Dupont wrote the personal articles of her famous family members for the Dictionnaire international de la psychanalyse and also wrote the article for the scientific journal Le Coq-Héron, which she has published since 1969 .

After Michael Bálint's death in 1970, Dupont took on the scientific responsibility for the estate of Sándor Ferenczi and took care of the French translation and edition of his works as well as the correspondence between Sigmund Freud and Ferenczi.
