About the Book

This comprehensive study explores Françoise Dolto's revolutionary theory that language acquisition begins in utero through precocious audition, revealing how unconscious affect and invested sound patterns shape early mental-emotional development and lifelong associative thinking.

Kathleen Saint-Onge demonstrates how generative echoes facilitate self-regulation and scaffold infant development. The book provides psychoanalysts with new theoretical frameworks connecting Freudian concepts of unconscious processes, dreamwork, and the transference to prenatal language acquisition. Readers will gain insights into how interrelational ‘common objects’ of familiar soundscapes become unconsciously securing, as affect bootstraps human learning and collaboration. Saint-Onge offers practical applications for understanding the role of the mother tongue in identity formation and the risks inherent in artificial versus natural language environments.

An illuminating read for psychoanalysts, researchers and theorists seeking to expand their understanding of early infant development and unconscious processes alike, this book will particularly appeal to Freudians interested in new applications of classical psychoanalytic theory, specialists in French psychoanalysis, and clinicians working with those experiencing language-related trauma and identity issues.
