This book is an attempt to describe, through an observational study
from pregnancy to the early months of postnatal life, the complex
interactions between mother and baby. The infants the author
observed showed amazing skills at engaging their mothers in
conversation. Psychology so far has paid little attention to this
primal psychobiological, rhythmic communication as an important
factor in child development. Studies on babies' minds have long
been manipulated by the perspective of adult convenience. Research
and clinical literature have overlooked the relationship between
the woman's "bodyself image" and the quality of interactions with
her baby, which led the author to write this book. When the
mother's integrated "bodyself image" and the related
self-confidence enable her to receive and contain the fears,
crying, and anger of the baby, she is able to give these feelings
back to the baby with a renewed light rather than reject them, thus
she allows the baby to acknowledge them through a mirroring
process. If this process does not take place, the baby may ignore
the frightening feelings and, as opposed this being an ideal
situation, she/he can become unable to monitor them in later
life.This book acknowledges the impossibility of giving general
guidelines to individual parents, and telling any mother how she
should best look after her own baby. Instructive books often drive
a mother away from her own feelings and needs. The key is for the
mother to look into herself and discover and use her own resources.
