This developmental psychology text explores the mysteries of our basic nature and the extraordinary stories babies, children, and adults tell us of their life in the womb and birth. A new model of the INTEGRATED SELF is introduced that holds our transcendent AND human perspectives and supports babies wholeness from the beginning of life. 188 pages including 30 page bibliography.

Comments

"In her groundbreaking book Welcoming Consciousness, Dr. McCarty convincingly brings prenatal and perinatal psychology into the 21st century. In weaving together astonishing clinical stories, quantum physics, holographic theory, psychology, and philosophy, she introduces an integrative early development model that portrays babies as conscious, aware, and sentient beings from the beginning of life. This book is a MUST for anyone involved in pregnancy, birth, and supporting babies and young children."  - Paul Brenner, M.D., Ph.D., Obstetrician and Psychotherapist, Author, Buddha in the Waiting Room

“Dr. Wendy Anne McCarty has given us an amazing work by giving words to experiences that have origins from preverbal time. She welcomes consciousness by giving respect to early experience that so many of us know in our heart of hearts to be true. For those who are on the edge of discovering consciousness prior to the development of our nervous systems, she helps us stretch our thinking in ways that opens the doors into this new paradigm. Thank you, Wendy.” - Raymond Castellino, DC, Director, Castellino Prenatal and Birth Training, Clinical Director, BEBA Clinic

“Dr. Wendy McCarty's text on Welcoming Consciousness provides a clear and substantive introduction to readers on the latest theoretical developments in Pre and Perinatal Psychology.  But it is much more than that.  Dr. McCarty weaves together cutting edge knowledge from a variety of disciplines supporting consciousness in the earliest stages of human life. As well, she introduces original material from her clinical work, provides an autoethnographic context, and begins the task of articulating an integrated theory to "welcome" the developing fetus and newborn into this world.  She has made a wonderful contribution to a new and emerging field.” - Carolyn Kenny, Ph.D., Board Certified Music Therapist, Professor of Human Development and Indigenous Studies, Antioch Ph.D. in Leadership and Change

This paper is based on a presentation to the 10th International Congress of APPPAH held in San Francisco, Dec. 2001 and was published in APPPAH Journal, Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, Vol 16(4), Summer 2002. ABSTRACT: This paper explores the development of beliefs during the prenatal and perinatal period and how babies portray their beliefs. Four vignettes from therapeutic work with babies illustrate the powerful impact beliefs already have in shaping their lives. Sky resists breastfeed or anything around this mouth at six weeks of age; Antara, after her experience in NICU, is very frightened in new settings; and three-month old Angelica is unhappy most of the time and acts as if she’s still stuck in her mother’s birth canal. All successfully resolve their stress patterns with PPN oriented therapeutic assistance. The basic principles to help babies shift potentially constrictive beliefs to more life enhancing ones are included. This paper is intended as a theoretical and clinical exploration leading to new thought, research and clinical direction. This paper calls for a paradigm for infant development and communication with babies based on the premise that consciousness is the organizing principle of human experience. The importance of both practitioner and parent’s beliefs is discussed. 22 pages

Comments

“I wanted to let you know how happy I was to open up my most recent issue of International Doula from DONA, and see your name, and read your fabulous article regarding article in The International Doula Publication. You did a great job of covering all of the historical bases in the PPN field, and including the names of key players, you, Emerson, Castellino, Chamberlain. Many times, doulas ask me what exactly the PPN field covers, and I can now turn them over to this article to help explain. Yes, even though I am immersed in the PPN work, it is difficult to articulate the layers of “research” and sound credible. As I reread this article I realize how far we have all come along in this field...and, the work ahead...Thank you for inspiring me so.” - Angelique Millette, SBGI graduate student in Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Doula, CD (DONA), PCD (DONA).
