Colwyn Trevarthen, is a professor (Emeritus) of Child Psychology and Psychobiology at The University of Edinburgh, where he has taught since 1971. His work of the 1980s on mother-infant interactions was pioneering and his published work covers brain development, infant communication, child learning, and emotional health. His current research concerns how rhythms and expressions of 'musicality' in movement help communication with children and aid their development and learning. He is the Vice-President of the British Association for Early Childhood Education.




Laurent Danon-Boileau is a professor in General linguistics and language, at Sorbonne University Paris. He is also a psychoanalyst. He works with children between four and seven years old who do not speak and whose pathology ranges from autism and infantile psychosis to congenital aphasia. He is particularly attentive to two different dimensions of language and communication that are often considered to be mutually exclusive: language and communication as a psychic and poetic creation, and language and communication as a brain processed activity. He has widely published in linguistics, psychoanalysis and language and communication acquisition and pathology.
