Because several have privately emailed me about Dr. Marcovich's work, I thought I'd also post her references on LactNet. You have to know German though, as she is only published "auf deutsch." I am almost finished translating her article for her (Now I know why my first BA was in German Language & Literature!!). In the meantime, the citation is: Markovich, M. Vom sanften Umgang mit Fruehgeborenen: Neue Wege in der Neonatologie. International Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine. March 1995. 7(1): 57-71. Also, this commentary in the same issue: Linderkamp O, Beedgen B, Sontheimer D. Das Konzept der sanften Behandlung Fruehgeborener von Marina Marcovich. Eine kritische Bewertung. International Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine. March 1995. 7(1): 73-84. I am translating Linderkamp's article, and eventually the parents' book of their experiences, also.
