Enjeux de séparation chez les enfants présentant des troubles dysphasiques

Abstract

Specific language impairment (SLI), also called dysphasia, are ones in which the normal modes of oral language acquisition are altered in the very first stages of development. These troubles have serious effects on the psychic and social development of the child. Such language troubles make us look at the period preceding the establishment of language, the moment when early bonds are forming, while the child is dealing with separation. Speaking to each other corresponds to drawing closer together, all the while confirming that there is no longer a fusion between the two individuals. We will consider what is at play in individuation and separation of language troubles via the representations of attachment. Indeed, after having reviewed the literature, it appears pertinent to study the problems of separation in the creation of a story-line. The object of our longitudinal and prospective research was the narrativity and the attachment profiles of 47 dysphasic children which we obtained by means of the test Stories of attachment to be completed .
