Early human interaction: mother and child
Studies of the differing means of definition problems of parturition and neonatal dependence, the extent of human variability underlying them, and the possibilities for enrichment of experience in early human interaction call into question such standard practices as isolation of the newborn, separation of mother and infant immediately after birth, and division of the family unit at the very time when it is symbolically and in reality becoming a family unit.
