This book is quite interesting, and very applicable to reasoning behind attachment parenting. I found the author's observations regarding the tribe fascinating, as I did her speculation about the underlying continuum concept. However, I found her speculating that homosexuality, drug addictions, etc., are caused by not being held as a baby offensive. Putting it in perspective though, this is an older book that was extremely ahead of its time in terms of attachment parenting. At the time it was written though, many things regarding the nature of the brain were not as well known, and many things we now consider either inborn or genetic were then considered diseases or attributable to "poor parenting." Excepting those parts of the book, I found her general ideas plausible and a refreshing change from more conventional ideas regarding child rearing.
