This important book introduces the basics of prenatal psychology and works through the current scientific findings in the psychology and psychosomatics of pregnancy and birth. Through exploring bio-psycho-social relationships, as well as historical and cultural perspectives, this interdisciplinary approach easily breaks down specialist discussions into easy-to-understand concepts. Bridging the gap between foetal programming and psychological research and practice, this accessible book presents the history of the field and the basic concepts of prenatal development before exploring the behavioural dimensions of life before, during, and immediately after birth. Topics include sensory and emotional development in the womb, perception and brain development, the influence of environmental factors and prenatal imprinting and long-term effects. The author also delves into the concept of attachment and support and analyses body symptoms, sensations, feelings and inner images in dreams and imaginations, through the role of art creations and biographical narratives. As a whole, this book provides a therapeutic synopsis of the entire existence, which begins with conception. Explaining how experiences in the prenatal period influence basic psychological imprints across the lifespan, this book is an essential resource for students in a wide range of interrelated disciplines, including developmental psychology, paediatric medicine, neuroscience, infancy and early child development, nursing, social work and early childhood education. It may also be of interest to researchers, clinicians and related professionals.
