“The
prime role of the Dolto Archives Association is to make the
work and writings of Françoise Dolto better known, and
to establish links between people all over the world who share
a philosophy similar to hers,” asserted Colette Percheminier
at the close of the first Dolto Conference organized by UNESCO
in Paris in January 1999.
To this end, the Dolto Archives Association strives :

•
To preserve the heritage represented by the archives left
by Françoise Dolto, which include original drafts,
revised manuscripts, notes, letters, and audio and video
recordings. (Not included are patients’ files, which
Dolto carefully destroyed prior to her death.)
The archives also contains books, theses, and numerous
articles by and about Dolto, as well as personal items
from her office, photographs, watercolors painted in her
youth, and foreign editions of her books;
•
To make these materials available to scholars, health
professionals, students, and interested individuals;
