World Ecology is Womb Ecology


Introduction to
Pre and Perinatal
Psychology

With Thomas Verny

We know today that the interaction between parents and the unborn child and also between the unborn child and the world begins well before birth.

Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology is the pioneering field of science that explores how our earliest experiences, from conception to infancy, can have lifelong effects on our self-image, our perceptions, our behaviour and relationship patterns as well as our health.
In this course, psychiatrist and author Dr. Thomas R. Verny shows that life does not begin at birth but at conception, the fact that genes are not our destiny and the importance of prenatal communication that facilitates prenatal bonding and attachment.

It is one of the fundamental objectives of Pre and Perinatal Psychology to expand the concept of ecology to include the protection and preservation of the sanctity of the amniotic universe. World ecology must encompass womb ecology.
With the aid of PowerPoint slides, Dr. Verny reviews the evidence to document that unborn children and newborns have capabilities far beyond what they were believed to possess in the past.

With the advances in PPP, unborn children are no longer seen as functioning on a purely vegetative level but rather of being capable of sensing, feeling, thinking and remembering.
