An investigation into the impact of pregancy and birth on personality development. Every individual comprises all that came before birth and all that follows. Childbirth is a bridge to a new dimension of feeling, thinking and behavior and the way you are born determines how you will perceive the world. Obstetrical considerations and type of birth such as cesarean, premature, breech, and natural are considered as they impact personality of the adult. Fetal development and uterine experience is also discussed as well as psychotherapeutic approaches that clinically and theoretically deal with maladaptive responses eminating out of the perinatal period.
