✦ Synopsis

This book claims that the silent period represents a psychical event, a non-linguistic as well as linguistic moment in the continuous process of identity formation and reformation. It calls on psychoanalytic concepts to undertake a dialogue with the learner as a being engaged in the psychical work of making an identity.
