All psychotherapists work on the basis of a person??'s early experience, even if many yet give surprisingly little weight to the primal stage--from before conception to infancy--yet primal awareness is growing. In the last fifteen years biochemical understanding of emotions / hormones and of nutrition has burgeoned. Many of these research studies are on Medline, particularly in relation to the brain and mental health or disorder. Meanwhile brain scans have rapidly advanced our understanding of feelings, behavior, and performance.
The Unborn Child describes development from before conception and the lifelong effects of conditions on health and abilities. The mother??'s state during pregnancy--secure and happy, stressed or shocked, well-nourished or not--can affect her child-to-be physiologically and psychologically. This understanding can help in healing from early problems contributing to depression, compulsive behavior, or other problems. It is also invaluable towards generating children with their full genetic potential who are emotionally stable and basically healthy. The book is rooted in the authors??? experience, authoritative case studies, and scientific references.
This book, originally written by a Nobel Peace Prize winner and updated and extended by Simon H. House, is a fascinating insight into early child development, which will interest both those with special knowledge of the prenatal stage as well as anyone who is concerned with the health and well-being of children.

Roy Ridgway (1916-2000) was author of two groundbreaking books on prenatal and perinatal experiences and the effects of nutrition on babies in the womb. In the mid-1970s he directed the Sparsholt Psychotherapeutic Centre, Winchester. In the late 1970s he joined the British Medical Association secretariat and edited its publication, 'News Review'. He was a founder member of the Medical Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons and the UK-USSR Medical Exchange Programme. He was one of the executive staff who went to Oslo, in 1985, when the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
'In this single book. [Simon House] has brought together in a readable manner the recent findings of nutrition and psychology, biochemistry and emotion.. "The window of opportunity" that seals the intelligence, behaviour, and health of those about to be born is lost for many of the 55,000 babies born at low birthweights in the United Kingdom. This book presents the case for a paradigm shift towards the nutrition and emotional health of the mother and her unborn child. In my opinion there can be no more effective and economical way to benefit people's health, happiness, and peacefulness.. Fully referenced, this an authoritative book in the quest for global health and peace.'- From the Foreword by Michael A. Crawford, PhD, CBiol, FIBiol, FRCPath, Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, London Metropolitan University'This book by Roy Ridgway and Simon House is truly a key text in the field of prenatal psychology, with its history and dramatic progress over the past few years being comprehensively presented. The unborn child we all once were is part of our biography. The foundations for our later life - and hence for our health or susceptibility to illness - are laid during the prenatal period. The way in which we deal with children at the beginning of their life and ensure their nutritional needs are met, is of fundamental significance for society and health policy. The fields of social sciences, politics, medicine and psychotherapy, urgently need the information that is presented so comprehensively and knowledgeably in this book. It makes a stimulating, exciting and moving read for the general public and is also a manual for experts from the field.'- Ludwig Janus, MD, President of the International Society for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine, 1996 - 2006
