Teaching the Unborn: Precept and Practice Publication Date: 10/1987 Author(s): Author: Brent Logan Various prenatal stimulation approaches over recent years have resulted in thousands of children with exceptional abilities that do not prove problematic-unlike enhancement lacking an in utero component. Nonetheless, at the inception of every major historical shift transitional measures are idiosyncratic, unsystematically deriving impetus from early success while not yet identifying a common theme in order to promote consistent achievement. This challenge is met through synthesis leading toward comprehensive application. |

The Effect of Infertility on Female Sexuality Publication Date: 10/1987 Author(s): Author: Karen Reed Infertility affects one in six couples in America. Only half, or five million of them will be helped by medical means. For the others, the problem is long term.

The quest to become pregnant overshadows daily living, which can affect the couples relationship. |

Influence of a Bath During Labor on the Experience of Maternity Publication Date: 05/1987 Author(s): Author: F Gillot-de-Vries The data collected in this study tends to show that the bath has improved the experience of pregnancy and delivery, particularly for women of the pathological group, and among those mostly for primiparas. Their experience often comes fairly close to that of the normal group.

The Role of Prenatal Trauma in the Development of the Negative Birth Experience Publication Date: 03/1987 Author(s): Author: E A Barnett In this paper the author reviews and extends his previous researches into the negative birth experience. He notes that the incidence of the negative birth experience is constant at about 30% even in asymptomatic individuals who on further enquiry admit to restrictive feelings which have effectively limited their access to a full potential. The prominence of the negative birth experience in the production of certain symptom complexes is detailed. The negative birth experience is therefore to be considered a potent inhibiting factor to be dealt with therapeutically wherever it is discovered. |

Each one reported the experience as positive, and appeared to have opened the grieving process prior to the loss of the fetus, leading to an increased sense of continuity and completeness in the experience.Also discussed is a case of attempted but uncompleted abortion. |
