That dream-work on words--an idiosyncratic prehistory at the onset of mental and emotional life--secures the unconscious circulation of affect and the ontogeny of thought long prior to speech, seeding associative thinking and facilitating self-regulation. Kathleen Saint-Onge uses the written work of four nonverbal autistic authors in seeking corroboration for Dolto's formulations, finding thoughtful self-reflections that relate the experience of living in silence with relentless anxiety while relying on regression as a defence. Dolto's unprecedented insights into the infant's earliest learning carry formidable implications for autism interventions, and for primary language and literacy. At issue is an enduring susceptibility to archaic echoes--the haphazard, securing return of pre-invested phonemes--in communicative exchanges, including reading and writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Autism with Dolto \u003c\/i\u003econsiders unconscious processes as inherently reparative, heralding the responsibility education holds for human health, and supports a rethinking of autism that presumes competence. Readers are invited to new conversations in psychoanalysis, child development, education and linguistics through an exploration of the unconscious concomitants of first language acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Saint-Onge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032655097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032655093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Kathleen Saint-Onge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621898170623,"sku":"9781032655093","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-autism-with-dolto-kathleen-saint-onge-9781032655093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
