The Physiological Impact Of Infant Medical Intervention

with Terry Monell
Between 1846 and 1990, surgical procedures performed on infants were done without the administration of anaesthesia. This standard of practice was the result of two dominant beliefs in medical science, that babies could neither feel pain nor remember it.

It took 144 years, but finally the erroneous conclusions were challenged and rejected. The consequences conservatively calculated, would currently affect approximately 10.8 million adults, thirty and older, in the United States alone.

The areas of infant sentience, co-regulation, memory, clinical effect, the ACE study, somatic methodologies and more will give a picture of the past and present issues in infant medical trauma.

In this talk, Terry Monell provides an overview of this rarely discussed topic.
