| "William Emerson's program on Forceps Trauma...models how to empathetically assist a traumatized baby's own healing through hands and heart and provides compelling evidence of the benefits of cathartic therapy begun as soon as possible after birth. The star however of the film is Rowan...his presence videotaped from infant to youngster is the most eloquent testimony of Emerson's model for healing forceps trauma. This program is imperative for all to know as long as obstetrics prevails...I recommend Emerson's healing paradigm for anyone who cares about birth." Jeanine Parvati Baker, Midwife & Author |

One viewer said, "I was 'blown out' by the effects that treatment had on this baby. The video makes it clear that treatment has very powerful and positive effects." 2005. 80 minutes.

| "William Emerson is the leading psychologist in the country in the identification and healing of prenatal and birth trauma. This video, a case study in the healing of trauma arising in an infant who suffered near asphyxia at birth from cord compression, gives us an in-depth look at some specifics of Emerson's technique, and the wondrous emergence of giftedness in a child who has been freed from the psychological burden of birth trauma...I highly recommend (this video) and indeed the entire series of which it is part. I hope that it will be viewed not only by therapists interested in this healing work, but also by many others involved in birth."
