ABSTRACT<br />

Key Words - Affection; Bonding; Mother; Fectus<br />

Introduction<br />

Lately, a considerable change happened in the way we face the<br />

abilities <strong>of</strong> the new born: from a vulnerable being to the<br />

environmental conditions, immature and defenceless in all aspects,<br />

he turns to be seen as able <strong>of</strong> having behavioural competencies that<br />

allows him to have an active interaction inside and outside the<br />

uterine body.<br />

The conception and the pregnancy unchain in the future mother an<br />

authentic psychosomatic “revolution": as much as in her body as in<br />

her psychic functioning suffers deep modifications and adaptations,<br />

all <strong>of</strong> them necessary to accept the baby and promote his<br />

development.<br />
