Callioscott Leif JF - The Audible Transitional Object CASSETTE

IIn collaboration with Malmö arts organisaion Foundation of the Teacherock, we are equal parts proud and mystfified to present The Audible Transitional Object, opus of the little known Swedish child psychologist Leif J. F. Callioscott. A cornerstone of Leif's groundbreaking academic work of the 1970s, his theories around the ATO demonstrate that play and fantasy are crucial to a child's psychological development. Exposure to fantastical, magical or “unreal” sonic elements (disembodied voice, unidentifiable sounds, nonsense language), he contested, are key to providing the developing mind with a nuanced understanding and subtle picture of the world around us.
