Title: On Becoming a Family
First published: December 15, 1980
Description: T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., internationally known for his research and supportive books on the first years of life, now takes on the myth of instant bonding. He shows that attachment to a new baby does not take place overnight. Early relationships between parents and newborn (and unborn) infants are both more complex and more rewarding than the popular notion of bonding suggests.
