Grossesse et naissance examines pregnancy and birth as both biological events and profound human transitions. Focused on the arrival of a child into family life, the book considers how expectant parents, caregivers, and professionals understand the moments surrounding conception, gestation, delivery, and early infancy. Its approach is grounded in the French psychoanalytic and pediatric tradition, emphasizing the emotional and relational dimensions of becoming a parent as well as the infant’s first encounters with the world. Rather than offering a purely clinical manual, the work reflects on how babies are welcomed, recognized, and supported from the earliest stages of life. It is suitable for readers interested in perinatal psychology, infant mental health, and the social meanings attached to birth and early care.
