Das Buch eröffnet ein neues Forschungsgebiet; die pränatale Verhaltensbeobachtung, die durch die Entwicklung der Ultraschalltechnik erst möglich gemacht wurde. Es ist die erste Langzeitstudie über das Verhalten von Feten, Säuglingen und Kleinkindern. Die jahrhundertealte Frage, was wichtiger sei, Anlage oder Umwelt, kann so auf eine neue Grundlage gestellt werden. Empirisches Beobachtungsmaterial und der Blickwinkel der Psychoanalytikerin ergänzen und unterstützen einander in diesem ungewöhnlichen und spannend zu lesenden Forschungsbericht.
