The Unconscious Body Image espouses a completely original view of the links between physical and psychic development, providing fresh insight into our understanding of psychosomatic symptoms and child development. 
Françoise Dolto describes how unconsciously held mental images of the body and its functioning impact upon the subject’s feelings and ideas of themself, and conversely how emotions and ideas impact upon the body’s functioning by way of these unconscious images. The Unconscious Body Image also presents Dolto’s view of the development of mind in relation to unconscious body images generated at each stage of development (oral, anal, genital, latency and puberty), and ideas about psychic castration at each developmental stage and children’s socialisation, filling a significant gap in psychoanalytic understanding of the mental integration of social law. 
This book will be a key text for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, particularly those working with children, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychodynamic practitioners in the social sciences, childcare and education.

The Unconscious Body Image

This book is the author's 1939 medical thesis and is dedicated to medical practitioners, paediatricians, and parents without prior knowledge of psychoanalysis. The author's aim was to sensitise people to the unconscious dimensions of many problems in children. She demonstrates here, through sixteen case studies, how often children's difficulties at school and at home - be they behavioural or due to impaired learning abilities - are the expression of psychological issues linked with their developing sexuality and castration anxiety, and result in physical symptoms such as enuresis and encopresis. The author points out that the awareness of the self and self-responsibility often develops for young people in families in which the parents do not know how to listen or even more importantly cannot be listened to with trust. There is also a summary of Freud's theories of the different stages of the evolution of the drives, as well as the central developmental role played by the castration complex, castration anxiety, and the Oedipus Complex.

POINTS

190pages. in8. Broché. A partir d'octobre 1976, Françoise Dolto a répondu chaque jour, au micro de France-Inter, dans une émission dont le succès a été immédiatement immense, aux lettres de parents qui rencontrent des difficultés dans l'éducation de leurs enfants. C'est l'essentiel d'une première série de ces émissions qui est ici recueilli -et souvent amplifié -, avec le double souci de conserver à la conversation sa liberté et sa souplesse, et de donner à lire un livre qui ne soit pas le simple décryptage d'un programme radiophonique au jour le jour. En ouvrant ces pages, ce qu'il ne faut jamais oublier, c'est que Françoise Dolto ne prétend pas donner des recettes mais définir une attitude: chercher à toute difficulté ses raisons et y répondre avec la justesse que l'expérience psychanalytique permet.
