Professor Philippe Rochat, Emory University, Atlanta Georgia, USA: "The self in infancy and beyond"

Abstract
The aim of this talk is to discuss and provide some anchoring points regarding the origins and development of the self in infancy (birth to 18 months), and beyond, when children start to manifest an explicit and objectified (conceptual) sense of themselves , i.e., self-consciousness proper.
