Prenatal experience and the developing self

Originally written in 1960 and presented here as a revised facsimile reprint, Francis J. Mott’s book examines how prenatal experience may relate to later psychological, moral, and spiritual development. The description places this inquiry alongside Mott’s interests in philosophy, mythology, anthropology, and dream analysis, giving the book a broad, interpretive frame for considering human development. Its central subject is the formation of the self across the transition from prenatal to postnatal life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in philosophical approaches to human development and the self
  • Those exploring connections among prenatal experience, psychology, morality, and spirituality
  • Readers with an interest in mythology, anthropology, or dream analysis

Book overview

Facsimile reprint of a seminal work on the relevance of the prenatal experiences on later post-natal psychological, moral and spiritual development. Francis J. Mott was a 20th Century 'Renaissance Man', whose broad life experience, personal study and extensive work in the related fields of philosophy, mythology, anthropology and dream analysis reflect the life of a man whose search led him into realms of understanding that were far ahead of his times. 'The Nature of the Self', written in 1960, and long out of print, offers deep insight and wisdom about the developmental processes of human life. The time is ripe for this book to make a major contribution to the endeavour of psychological healing.
