The biological birth of the human infant and the psychological birth of the individual are not coincident in time. The former is a dramatic, observable, and well-circumscribed event; the latter a slowly unfolding intrapsychic process. This book represents an important breakthrough in understanding the human infant and makes a unique contribution to the science of human behavior.
