This is the long-awaited tenth-anniversary edition of Dr. Chamberlain's 1988 classic, "Babies Remember Birth." In paperback format and enriched with a new last chapter, this book has the potential to revolutionize the way we look at babies, both before and after birth. Part I is filled with "user-friendly" information about the mind and abilities of newborns, as well as a thorough look at their development before birth. Parts II and III present evidence that babies do remember birth and are very much aware of the people around them at that time. Dr. Chamberlain writes compellingly about the newborn's sensitivity, awareness, and vulnerability. He emphasizes the importance and power of the infant-and-parent connection during pregnancy and after birth. When the information in this book becomes common knowledge, we will look at our children with new respect and understanding.

Combining new research findings with the wisdom of a lifetime's research by pioneering birth psychologist David Chamberlain, 'Windows to the Womb' will inform and inspire expectant parents; midwives, doulas, and obstetricians; birth psychologists and therapists who wish to gain a greater understanding of the minds of unborn children.
