Dominique: The Case of an Adolescent

By Françoise Dolto

The case of a psychotic 14 year-old boy presented in its full form by the renowned French psychoanalyst. With transcription of comments and reactions made by the child, his parents and the therapist.

Francoise Dolto stands alongside Jacques Lacan as a leading light of the Other French school, her research was integrated into schools, hospitals and popular media at a national level. First published in 1971, reading Dominique now gives a granular portrait of an adolescent's subjectivity and its familial and state inheritance. As such the book is an historical example of how the secular Republic of Metropolitan France produced forms of thought.

Translated by Ivan Kats, revised by Lionel and Sham Bailly, and with an Afterword by Michael Ryzner-Basiewicz.
