For some decades now a new perspective on gestation, delivery and first years of life processes has been established. They have been named "primal period" by Michel Odent. Worldwide known obstetrician, Odent recovers the non-violent delivery tradition by F. Leboyer to enrich and renew it in light of deep ethology, physiology and neuro-sciences researches. The vision brought out demonstrates how birth is today, in the Western world, not only a medicalized and technological event, but it is also disturbed by routines harmful for the mother, the child and especially to their relation, stimulating human species' aggressiveness potential. Asking yourself if it is still sustainable giving birth and raise aggressive individuals goes together with the need to make a critical review of birth practices.

Abstract
For some decades now a new perspective on gestation, delivery and first years of life processes has been established. They have been named "primal period" by Michel Odent. Worldwide known obstetrician, Odent recovers the non-violent delivery tradition by F. Leboyer to enrich and renew it in light of deep ethology, physiology and neuro-sciences researches. The vision brought out demonstrates how birth is today, in the Western world, not only a medicalized and technological event, but it is also disturbed by routines harmful for the mother, the child and especially to their relation, stimulating human species' aggressiveness potential. Asking yourself if it is still sustainable giving birth and raise aggressive individuals goes together with the need to make a critical review of birth practices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
