| Extra Info | : | Listening to Voices, Hearing a Person: Francoise Dolto, Georges Perec and the Language of the Subject. Francoise Dolto was for many years after the 2nd World War, till her death in 1988, the most famous and most listened to child psychoanalyst and expert on child development in France. In many ways she was the French equivalent of Donald Winnicott in the UK. But while Winnicott's work is well-known and much discussed in France, the work of Francoise Dolto is hardly known, virtually untranslated and little discussed in the UK. I will present some aspects of her thinking and practice, while also speculating on why she was so important in France but so little regarded in the UK and why listening to her can be so rewarding and re-vitalising. To help illustrate this I will draw on the novel by Georges Perec 'W, Or the Memory of Childhood'. Roger Bacon is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist (Member, Guild of Psychotherapists) who has been in private practice for the last 30 years, first in Cambridge and latterly in Edinburgh. Prior to training he was a Senior Research Officer at the Child Care and Development Unit at the University of Cambridge. Tickets to be purchased "at the door" on the day of the lecture.
