Par Daniel N. Stern, Nadia Bruschweiler-Stern, Alison Freeland. 1998
As you prepare to become a mother, you face an experience unlike any other in your life. Having a baby…
will redirect your preferences and pleasures and, most likely, will realign some of your values. As you undergo this unique psychological transformation, you will be guided by new hopes, fears, and priorities. In a most startling way, having a child will influence all of your closest relationships and redefine your role in your family’s history. The charting of this remarkable, new realm is the subject of this compelling book. Renowned psychiatrist Daniel N. Stern has joined forces with pediatrician and child psychiatrist Nadia Bruschweiler-Stern and journalist Alison Freeland to paint a wonderfully evocative picture of the psychology of motherhood. At the heart of The Birth of a Mother is an arresting premise: Just as a baby develops physically in utero and after birth, so a mother is born psychologically in the many months that precede and follow the birth of her baby. The recognition of this inner transformation emerges from hundreds of interviews with new mothers and decades of clinical experience. Filled with revealing case studies and personal comments from women who have shared this experience, this book will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for new mothers, validating the often confusing emotions that accompany the development of this new identity. In addition to providing insight into the unique state of motherhood, the authors touch on related topics such as going back to work, fatherhood, adoption, and premature birth. During pregnancy, mothers-to-be talk about morning sickness and their changing bodies, and new mothers talk about their exhaustion, the benefits of nursing or bottle-feeding, and the dilemma of whether or when they should return to work. And yet, they can be strangely mute about the dramatic and often overwhelming changes going on in their inner lives. Finally, with The Birth of a Mother, these powerful feelings are eloquently put into words.Temperament Tools: Working with Your Child's Inborn Traits
Par Diane Clark Johnson, Helen F Neville. 2015
The most recent and respected research on how temperament can affect a child's progress toward developmental milestones and responses to…
new experiences Research shows that many challenging behaviors are connected to a child's inborn temperament, the unique set of characteristics that each child is born with. When adults who work with children understand what makes a child tick, they can adapt their parenting, teaching, or treatment protocols to the individual needs of each child. Coauthor Helen Neville has updated the contents of the original edition of Temperament Tools to reflect the latest understanding about inborn temperament and its effects on behavior. Certain behavior clusters go with certain combinations of temperament traits and some clusters result in a child who can be quite a challenge. This book describes many types of children and offers strategies to help deal with behavior resulting from inborn temperament. Parents fill out a temperament chart to help define and understand their child, then consult the appropriate chapter that refers to that type of child. Temperament Tools avoids the use of psychological jargon while featuring the extensive practical understanding of children and their parents' questions and needs for skills. Adults using the book find the sections on practical ways to handle kids with temperament in mind to be valuable for restoring peace in home or school.Why Don’t You Understand?

«Héctor se quita el casco, lo pone en el suelo y puede abrazar al niño. Formulando un deseo para el…
futuro, eleva a su hijo hacia lo alto con los brazos y con el pensamiento. Este gesto será, para siempre, la marca del padre.» En este gran ensayo (que Taurus publica en edición actualizada), libro referencia internacional sobre la figura paterna, Luigi Zoja, analista junguiano y uno de los más relevantes intelectuales italianos, se ocupa de los orígenes de la figura del padre desde un punto de vista histórico, antropológico y psicológico. El autor lee algunas figuras míticas de la antigüedad clásica -Ulises, Aquiles, Eneas...- como imágenes arquetípicas del padre y modelo de las paradojas a las que este se enfrenta. Zoja nos conduce en una reinterpretación vibrante de la paternidad desde Homero y Virgilio hasta el siglo del cine y el totalitarismo. Ilumina la eterna división de lo masculino entre dos identidades unificadas (hombre/padre), en el corazón de la cuestión de «convertirse en padre», mediante emotivos ejemplos, como el magnífico gesto de Héctor -que, tras quitarse el casco, eleva a su hijo y riega a los dioses para que este lo supere en fuerza-. Reseñas:«El libro más hermoso sobre la figura paterna.»Loredana Lipperini «Un libro erudito y extremadamente bien escrito, que se lee como una novela.»La Repubblica «Con El gesto de Héctor Zoja pone en foco la identidad masculina como campo de batalla entre principios contradictorios.»Liberazione «En su brillante El gesto de Héctor, el psicoanalista junguiano Luigi Zoja describe el retrato de Héctor, el retrato de un héroe familiar y modesto, libre de la hybris que caracteriza tanto a Aquiles como a Ulises. Héctor es padre y guerrero al mismo tiempo.»L'Espresso «El libro de Zoja se ha convertido en la referencia internacional sobre la paternidad, y esta nueva edición actualizada llega en el momento idóneo, pues resulta útil para abordar temas candentes.»Corriere della SeraFeeding Your Child - The Brazelton Way
