Many children spend their first days, weeks, and sometimes months
in a neonatal intensive care unit as a consequence of prematurity,
congenital anomalies, or birth complications. Their medical needs
are thoughtfully appraised and attended to, yet some questions are
rarely asked: What experiences do these newborns have? What
experiences are we giving them? How can we and do we understand
what their lives are like? What are the interventions and actions
of medical care actually like for them? Michael van Manen explores
the experiential life of newborn infants with particular
consideration for those newborns who require medical care. Drawing
on contemporary research findings from physiology, psychology,
biology, and other disciplines, he offers phenomenological insights
and raises thought-provoking questions as to how we ought to
understand and care for such young children. In our contemporary
world, it is often the experiences of inception, of first contact,
with those who seem most distant, foreign, or even alien that we
need to try to apprehend and understand. The inceptual lives of
newborn infants challenges us to explore those experiences
phenomenologically - to investigate the originary meanings of early
life experiences. Phenomenology of the Newborn is an essential text
for researchers seeking to employ phenomenology for the study of
neonatal life and related concerns that may seem inaccessible to
other more traditional qualitative and quantitative methods.
