Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history, symptoms, and treatments for conditions that were believed to be caused by maternal impressions during pregnancy. It includes 47 cases collected by the author, which describe the deformities and arrest of development seen in children of mothers who had been frightened or experienced hardship while pregnant. The text begins with research from 1775 and continues through the 19th century, ultimately revealing the author's belief that all fetal abnormalities are caused by the conditions of conception and the health of the parents, rather than maternal impressions. The author concludes that, while the imagination may affect a mother's health and the health of her child, it is not the cause of deformities. This book will interest medical historians and anyone seeking insight into 18th and 19th-century medical views.
