Publisher's Synopsis
While medical science has made great progress in the area of neonatology, this is the first time that such an intense study has been made of the mother's and father's internal world during the first four months of their baby's life. It also explains the baby's situation and the effects on staff. Most important are the implications of handling the parents of premature infants in a way that will counter the trauma they have suffered and give their child a better start in life.
