Handbook of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology

Abstract

This chapter undertakes the momentous task of addressing conflicted pregnancy, which is one of the most difficult tasks for a prenatal psychologist. We know and feel the importance of earliest life in the womb. We know how trust is developed prenatally and becomes the foundation for future relationships and how basic imprints are developed that impact the individual’s future.
