In an earlier work, the authors suggested that it was necessary to construct a psychodynamic theoretical model of preventive action and to try to use it in the education of children so as to prevent the building of their affective development and to improve harmonious growth. Reviews the principal psychoanalytical contributions to the field of education, noting that Dolto is the author who has argued with the most conviction that psychoanalysis should not be reduced to a form of curative therapy, or restricted to the understanding of psychopathology and its treatment, merely a theory of personality.
