It examines how experiences during the prenatal period are associated with basic physiological and psychological imprints that last a lifetime and explores the ways in which brain networks reflect these experiences. Chapters offer findings on prenatal development, fetal programming, fetal stress, and epigenetics. In addition, chapters discuss psychotherapy for infants - before, during, and after birth - as well as prevention to promote positive health and well-being outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics featured in this handbook include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary environmental stressors and adverse pregnancy outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe psychology of newborn intensive care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt therapy and its use in treating prenatal trauma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe failures and successes of Cathartic Regression Therapy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrenatal bonding and its positive effects on postnatal health and well-being.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of family midwives and early prevention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cultural meaning of prenatal psychology.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, as well as graduate students in a wide range of interrelated disciplines, including developmental psychology, pediatric and obstetrical medicine, neuroscience, infancy and early child development, obstetrics and gynecology, nursing, social work, and early childhood education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKlaus Evertz \u003c\/b\u003eworks as psycho-, art- and body therapist in own office and Center for Palliative Medicine, University Hospital Cologne.
