Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Why do all cultures ritually disrupt the first contact between mother and new-born baby? Why has there hitherto been an evolutionary advantage in developing human potential for aggression rather than the capacity to love? Until recently love was the realm of poets, artists and philosophers. Latterly it has been studied from multiple scientific perspectives. Michel Odent argues that the specialist approach has overlooked the importance of love as a potential new strategy for human survival, and that the old survival strategy, the domination of nature and other human groups, is no longer appropriate. By weaving together data from a multitude of disciplines, Michel Odent is able to offer a number of insightful and exciting explanations, and makes the case for the adoption of radical new strategies for human survival. Book News Annotation:French obstetrician Michel Odent, founder of the Primal Health
Research Center in London, offers a number of conclusions relating to
the critical period of time following birth (the "primal period")
during which the capacity for love, as well as a number of health and
behavior characteristics, is formed. Distributed by ISBS.
