Findings reveal we are conscious, aware beings who already have a sense of self as we begin human life. This book explores the mysteries of our multidimensional nature and the extraordinary stories babies, children, and adults tell us of their life in the womb and during birth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNearly all of today's early development models and understandings assume biology is our primary nature and that the capacity for sentience is dependent on brain development. Our current professional and parenting practices are built upon these fundamental assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Integrated Model of early development developed in \u003cem\u003eWelcoming Consciousness\u003c\/em\u003e moves beyond current biology-first models to embrace both our transcendent and human perspectives and capacities and evolves how we can best support babies' multidimensional wholeness and human potential from the beginning of life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Integrated Model is built upon clinical findings and extensive review of research in infant development, prenatal and perinatal psychology, integral psychology, and consciousness studies. The touching clinical stories included bring these new concepts alive and the 30 page bibliography gives the reader avenues to explore this territory more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This unique work of Dr. McCarty is an intellectual milestone-the first attempt to integrate theory and practice of prenatal and perinatal psychology with other developmental theories.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- David Chamberlain, PhD, author, \u003cem\u003eThe Mind of Your Newborn Baby\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWelcoming Consciousness\u003c\/em\u003e is an exceptional asset to the growing understanding of both the exquisite awareness and delicate vulnerabilities that babies bring with them into the world.
