This book details the history of the idea of psychological development over the past two millennia. The developmental idea played a major part in the shift from religious ways of explaining human nature to secular, modern ones. In this shift, the 'elect' (chosen by God) became the 'normal' and grace was replaced by cognitive ability as the essentially human quality. A theory of psychological development was derived from theories of bodily development, leading scholars describe human beings as passing through necessary 'stages of development' over the lifespan. By exploring the historical and religious roots of modern psychological concepts and theories, this book demonstrates that history is a method for standing outside psychology and thereby evaluating its fundamental premises. It will spark new interest in the history, sociology and philosophy of the mind sciences, as well as in the rights of children and developmentally disabled people.

Et si notre orientation sexuelle, quelle qu’elle soit, n’était pas un choix, mais était fixée dès la naissance ? Et s’il fallait plutôt chercher la réponse dans nos gènes ? La question de l’origine de l’homosexualité n’est pas nouvelle. Même si certains considèrent que l’éducation ou encore le comportement des parents influencent nos préférences. Le Pr. Jacques Balthazart propose ici un nouvel éclairage sur cette thématique rarement abordée en langue française. Considéré comme une référence internationale en biologie de l’homosexualité, il explique quelles pourraient être les bases biologiques de notre sexualité. Il donne un point de vue complet sur les éléments pouvant impacter l’orientation sexuelle, comme le contrôle hormonal du comportement ou les effets des stéroïdes sexuels. Sans jamais tomber dans la propagande pour l’une ou l’autre explication, il rend ces notions accessibles à tous et montre comment la neurobiologie contemporaine pourrait, peut-être, changer notre vision de la sexualité. Entre explications biologiques et conséquences sociales, cet ouvrage déconstruit nos préjugés sur la sexualité !

The handbook synthesizes the comprehensive interdisciplinary research on the psychological and behavioral dimensions of life before, during, and immediately after birth. It examines how experiences during the prenatal period are associated with basic physiological and psychological imprints that last a lifetime and explores the ways in which brain networks reflect these experiences. Chapters offer findings on prenatal development, fetal programming, fetal stress, and epigenetics. In addition, chapters discuss psychotherapy for infants – before, during, and after birth – as well as prevention to promote positive health and well-being outcomes. Topics featured in this handbook include: Contemporary environmental stressors and adverse pregnancy outcomes The psychology of newborn intensive care. Art therapy and its use in treating prenatal trauma. The failures and successes of Cathartic Regression Therapy. Prenatal bonding and its positive effects on postnatal health and well-being. The role of family midwives and early prevention. The cultural meaning of prenatal psychology. The Handbook of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, as well as graduate students in a wide range of interrelated disciplines, including developmental psychology, pediatric and obstetrical medicine, neuroscience, infancy and early child development, obstetrics and gynecology, nursing, social work, and early childhood education.
