Description
The Unconscious Body Image by Françoise Dolto explores the intricate links between physical and psychic development, offering a fresh perspective on psychosomatic symptoms and child development. Dolto reveals how unconscious mental images of the body and its functioning impact on a person's feelings and sense of self, and how emotions and ideas can, in turn, affect the body's functioning through these unconscious images. This book presents Dolto's unique view of the development of the mind in relation to unconscious body images generated at each stage of development, from infancy to puberty. It also delves into the concept of psychic castration and its significance in children's socialisation, providing valuable insights for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, and psychodynamic practitioners. A key text for those working with children, this book fills a significant gap in psychoanalytic understanding of the mental integration of social law.
