Hello all!  I have been presented with a wonderful opportunity to regarding
Babywise.  I have returned to nursing school for my BSN (what was I
thinking!!), and during my psychology  class we were discussing Erikson's
theory of Trust vs. Mistrust in newborns.  I'm sure you all can guess what
popped into my mind!  After class I asked my professor if she was aware of a
certain book; she wasn't, so we discussed it at length.  Before I knew it,
she made arrangements with the library for me to do an extra credit project.
This will consist of a huge display in one of the library's glass cases.
(Basically, she wants me to discredit this book.)  The main focus is to be
from a psychological  perspective.  I plan to take certain excerpts from the
book and show why they are psychologially  harmful to babies.  (ex.  leaving
a baby alone in his room and not responding to a newborns cries.)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would welcome them.  I'm excited by this
opportunity and somewhat overwhelmed!  Also, I need to buy this book, but
I'm happy to say I can't find it anywhere in my town!  If anyone has the
book and would be interested in selling it, I would be happy to buy it.  (I
hate the thought of buying it in a bookstore.  Don't want them to get credit
for another sale!)
I found out in last weekend's childbirth class that there is a school
psychologist  here in this town that promotes this book rather strongly.
(Plan to send her one of Dr. Aney's packets!)

Thanks for your help.
