Supporting Babies’ Wholeness in the 21st Century: An Integrated Model of Early Development

: A holonomic holographic integrated model of early development is introduced
reflecting clinical findings from prenatal and perinatal psychology as well as current western early development
thought. The Integrated Model and discussion address: Wilber’s Integral Approach, modes of empiricism,
quantum physics, morphogenic fields, memory, Noetic science, fundamental sentient nature and continuity of
self, transcendental and human levels of awareness, prenatal and birth therapy with babies and children, needs
theory, integrated being/knowing: perception/senses, early experience and the adaptive unconscious, and the
holonomic model imperative. Portions of this paper were originally published in Welcoming Consciousness:
Supporting Babies’ Wholeness from the Beginning of Life. KEY WORDS: Human development, consciousness,
prenatal development, prenatal and perinatal psychology, infant development, imprinting, early trauma, birth
trauma, primary knowing, and infant.
