Cultivating Mindfulness to Raise Children Who Thrive introduces an expanded view of human development and health, which begins before conception and moves through pregnancy, early childhood and adulthood. This book is a call for all prenatal and perinatal professionals and policy makers to appreciate indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing and integrate them with scientific evidence in the care of expectant parents and their babies. It explains how this could also tackle pressing social issues facing the modern world and favour social innovations through a revaluation of preconception, pregnancy, birth and childcare practices. Sansone presents the reader with scientific discoveries of epigenetics, interpersonal neuroscience, quantum physics, attachment, anthropology, prenatal and perinatal psychology and mindfulness, which interestingly resonate with the intuitions of primal wisdom. The book will be of interest to clinicians, policy makers, researchers, parents, and those interested in the prenatal and perinatal roots of human development and well-being.

This book emphasizes the importance of communication and early attachment for babies, acknowledging the value of both mother and father "being there" for their baby during pregnancy and after birth, with "quality time" to acknowledge, respect, and enjoy the presence of their baby.
This book deepens the communicative dynamics by which even through the mass media the paedophile has become the plague-spreader. It is an attempt to underline that only an integrative approach can give an appropriate answer to the clinical complexity characterising paedophilic pictures.
Working with Parents and Infants is aimed at understanding the process of psychosomatic illness, exploring the embodiment of psychosomatic health and illness, and the inseparability of psyche and soma. Within this book, the author highlights the beneficial function of psychosomatic symptoms, such as mastitis, in signalling to the counse
The book examines the field of early emotions and the fact that the human body has frequently been excluded from psychological and relational processes. Central to the book is an examination of the ways in which the unconscious life of the mind expresses itself through a woman's body, and conversely, the manner in which the body's experiences impinge upon the mind.Drawing on the case of a difficult mother-infant relationship, infant observations, psychoanalytic literature and work in neighboring disciplines, Sansone considers how early experiences of touch and movement become stored within the body and how such experiences may be acted out in adult life and affect the mother-infant early relationship. Pregnancy and childbirth are a crucial time for parents, since they reactivate unresolved issues, which left untreated, can develop more complex chronic conditions or even pathology.In contrast to the dualism of Western science and medicine, the author assumes the embodiment of the human mind, the inseparability of psyche and soma. She also explores the embodiment of emotional health as well as of emotional illness and their foundation in earliest experiences.
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.
