Talk:Prenatal and perinatal psychology

message: "Article is largely uncited, has not applied for GA class, assessed at B class" I agree. I am going to get to this one in July '07 and fix the citation problems plus raise it's importance. Help always appreciated.--Ziji 23:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  B class low importance article 

message: This is a useful area to establish scientific credentials for the field. I have tapped a number of useful references. I have also begun a Frank Lake article - any additions gratefully recvieved, including critique of his maternal-fetal distress syndrome.-- Ziji  (talk)  13:33, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I have included a number of references to establish the bona fides of prenatal and perinatal psychology as an interdisciplinary field, including hard sciences such as neurobiology. This has changed the tone of the intro quite a bit and it could disturb old hands who have thought of the field more in the terms of the later discussion in the article, where my affections are as well - you may notice I have started the article on Frank Lake to honor a leader in the field as significant to me as Grof and Rank - fortunately recognised as such or I would be in breach of NPOV. My reason for changing this to the extent that I have is to get the article up to an encyclopedic standard, where it will have a place in Psychology (dominated as parts of it are by cogntive science) that has yet to register that the fetus has both temperament, memory and perception, which lay the foundation for learning, personality and character formation.  Trauma to the fetus and/or mother have measurable and enduring hormonal and structural effects, which set patterns of responding and learning throughout life. Third generation descendants of holocaust survivors are a good example of the grandmother effect in these enduring patterns of response. They generally have higher cortisol levels than matched groups of non descendants of holocaust survivors. These also are legitimate areas for inclusion in this article, and I invite editors with expertise in that and related areas to contribute to this article.  My other reason for making these changes is a longer term goal of getting Body psychotherapy (which inlcudes breath work for instance) and Somatic Psychology if merged, up to the same level of intrinsic authority, but it needs prenatal and perinatal psychology to support it-- Ziji  (talk)  23:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Simply put, I searched for "Birth Trauma" in wikipedia and was directed to this article which does not explain what it is. Either remove the redirect or actually explain the concept here, kthxbye. :)Viciouspiggy (talk) 16:15, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  So what is birth trauma? 

message: I am noting a HUGE pruning done recently on this article that strangely didn't merit any comment on the talk page apparently by the person who did it. So that is now noted. Also note that this article has been brought to attention of the Fringe Theories review board, for what that's worth, and this appears to be the source of the huge pruning and nomination for deletion. So if this is on anyone's watchlist and you care about this article, take note that it's being eyed in this way by this group. SageRad (talk) 12:24, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huge Pruning 

message: Our manual of style offers guidance on "See also" sections at the end of an article:
:The links in the "See also" section might be only indirectly related to the topic of the article because one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics.
I added such a section, with links to articles about other aspects of postpartum life. It was reverted in this diff with the comment "the "see-also" categories have nothing to do with prenatal psychology". I think it is reasonable that a reader interested in the psychology of a new mother might also be interested in her physiology, and in customs that restrict or suppprt her (which may in turn affect her psychological experiences), etc. 
I propose re-adding the see also section, and would welcome additional links, including "tangentially related" ones. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 09:48, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: the article is about the psyche of the fetus and his experiences, not about the mother's experiences. so the post partum aspects concerning the mother are far away from the topic, in fact extremely misleading. Mr. bobby (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
