Françoise Dolto stands beside Lacan as a leading figure of French psychoanalysis, yet she remains little known in English. First published in 1971, Dominique is her account of treating a troubled adolescent. It is both an intimate psychological portrait of a boy and his family inheritance and a historical study of 1960s French society. The case unfolds over twelve sessions, with Dolto recording everything Dominique says, so the reader hears his voice directly. This edition uses Ivan Kats’s translation, revised by Lionel and Sharmini Bailly. It is a classic clinical case history that reads like a novel.
