Im Judentum wurde der Lebensanfang mit einer Vielfalt religiöser Rituale gefeiert. Das Jüdische Museum in Basel bewahrt Objekte aus der Schweiz und aus den angrenzenden Regionen des Elsasses bis nach Süddeutschland und gibt Einblick in eine grösstenteils verlorene Welt von Glauben, Ängsten, Hoffnung und Fröhlichkeit. Darunter sind Amulette, die Mütter und Kinder schützen sollten, Wimpel, die die Knaben in der jüdischen Gemeinschaft verankerten, Kissen für die Beschneidung, Geburtenregister des Beschneiders («Mohel-Bücher») und Wiegen für das Hollekreisch-Fest. Wissenschaftliche Artikel von Tali Berner, Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek, Uri R. Kaufmann und Daniela Schmid sind mit Interviews mit Dinah Ehrenfreund-Michler, Aviv Szabs, Esra Weill und Elisabeth und Ralph Weingarten (-Guggenheim) ergänzt, die die Bräuche und das Leben aus einem persönlichen und professionellen Blick erläutern. In Judaism, the beginning of life was celebrated with a variety of religious rituals. The Jewish Museum in Basel preserves objects from Switzerland and the neighboring regions of Alsace to southern Germany and sheds light on a largely lost world of faith, fears, hope and happiness. Among them are amulets to protect mothers and children, pennants to anchor boys in the Jewish community, pillows for circumcision, birth registers of the circumciser («mohel books»), and cradles for the Hollekreisch festival. Scholarly articles by Tali Berner, Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek, Uri R. Kaufmann and Daniela Schmid are complemented by interviews with Dinah Ehrenfreund-Michler, Aviv Szabs, Esra Weill and Elisabeth and Ralph Weingarten (-Guggenheim), which tell stories about religion and life from personal and professional perspectives.

The handbook synthesizes the comprehensive interdisciplinary research on the psychological and behavioral dimensions of life before, during, and immediately after birth. 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. Topics featured in this handbook include: Contemporary environmental stressors and adverse pregnancy outcomes The psychology of newborn intensive care. Art therapy and its use in treating prenatal trauma. The failures and successes of Cathartic Regression Therapy. Prenatal bonding and its positive effects on postnatal health and well-being. The role of family midwives and early prevention. The cultural meaning of prenatal psychology. The Handbook of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology 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.

Journey through the traditions, myths, facts and rituals concerning Placenta... the Forgotten Chakra. This book blends respect for culture and respect for nature, while standing firmly on scientific research that confirms what midwives have long known: the most gentle, time honored, least invasive birth protocols are best. For Birth Keepers and for expectant families, who, for each baby, have a once in a lifetime opportunity to go slowly and prevent birth trauma, it is a must read. Because peace begins with each child, it makes perfect sense to practice birth without violence.

Former obstetrician and childbirth pioneer Michel Odent argues that the aspect of human lifestyle that has been most profoundly changed in recent decades is the period of time surrounding the birth of a child. Since this formative time is considered critical in defining our species, Homo sapiens, fundamental changes in this area should herald significant evolution in regard to how babies are born. This, surely, should be at the heart of our discussions of the future, even above considerations of how humanity and planet earth interact.
