Opis

All psychotherapists work on the basis of a person's early experience, even if many yet give surprisingly little weight to the primal stage--from before conception to infancy--yet primal awareness is growing. In the last fifteen years biochemical understanding of emotions / hormones and of nutrition has burgeoned. Many of these research studies are on Medline, particularly in relation to the brain and mental health or disorder. Meanwhile brain scans have rapidly advanced our understanding of feelings, behavior, and performance.

The Unborn Child describes development from before conception and the lifelong effects of conditions on health and abilities. The mother's state during pregnancy--secure and happy, stressed or shocked, well-nourished or not--can affect her child-to-be physiologically and psychologically. This understanding can help in healing from early problems contributing to depression, compulsive behavior, or other problems. It is also invaluable towards generating children with their full genetic potential who are emotionally stable and basically healthy. The book is rooted in the authors' experience, authoritative case studies, and scientific references.

This book, originally written by a Nobel Peace Prize winner and updated and extended by Simon H. House, is a fascinating insight into early child development, which will interest both those with special knowledge of the prenatal stage as well as anyone who is concerned with the health and well-being of children.
