About the author

Françoise Dolto was a French pediatrician and psychoanalyst, famous for her research on babies and childhood. Dolto revolutionized the field of psycho-therapeutic work with babies (notably in their early experience and usage of language through their body), with the mother-baby dyad, and with a more positive observation and understanding of the means of communication used by children with learning or social disabilities.

She worked with Jacques Lacan, and said that children have a language before the language (with the body). She has contributed to the question of the unconscious body image, and influenced among others the work of Maud Mannoni.

As a recognized feminist, she also worked on reconciling women with their sexuality; she also analyzed the attitude of children when their parents are separating or divorcing.

Françoise Dolto was the mother of Carlos (1943–2008), a singer; and the sister of Jacques Marette, a minister.

Diving into Adolescence by Françoise Dolto was like uncovering a dusty, forgotten map to the wild, chaotic terrain of youth—a thrilling revelation that had me beaming as I peeled back the layers of misunderstanding society drapes over those turbulent years.

Dolto, with her psychoanalytic finesse and tender insight, doesn’t just analyze teenagers; she resurrects them from the underworld of clichés, revealing their struggles, passions, and quirks as a profound dance of becoming. Each page felt like a secret whispered in confidence, dismantling the tired lies that paint adolescence as mere rebellion or hormonal haze, and instead spotlighting it as a sacred, messy metamorphosis. I emerged from this book delighted, as if I’d been handed a lens to see the truth shimmering beneath the surface—a truth that celebrates the raw, untamed spirit of youth and invites us all to remember its electric pulse.

Чела съм много от книгите на Фр. Долто, несъмнено голям специалист в областта си.
Но това, което ми направи впечатление в тази книга е лекотата, граничеща с повърхностност и неангажираност. Сякаш си е казала, абе имам още малко какво да кажа, защо да не го оформя в книга. И това е така, и е обяснимо - пише тази книга месеци преди смъртта си, с ясното съзнание, че тя наближава. Личи си обобщителния поглед, поглед от високо... Леко хаотична, но мисля, че който каквото му трябва може да си вземе.
Безценен принос са приложенията, в които са поместени много филми, книги и статии по темата за израстването на юношите.
