Children without Language

"Most children begin to speak between the ages of two and three years, but not all of them. In Children without Language, eminent psychoanalyst and linguistic scholar Laurent Danon-Boilean continues the work he began in The Silent Child by examining how children overcome disabilities ranging from autism and infantile psychosis to congenital aphasia and find their way from not speaking toward communication and speech." "Combining linguistic, cognitive, and psychoanalytic approaches, Children without Language provides a unique perspective on speech and communication disorders in children, and so will be an essential volume for speech therapists, developmental psychologists, linguistics shoulders, and anyone wishing in reflect seriously on why we speak and how communication occurs."--Jacket.
