"The Continuum Concept" introduces the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional development, human beings - especially babies - require the kind of instinctive nurturing as practiced by our ancient relatives. It is a true 'back to basics' approach to parenting. Author Jean Liedloff spent two and-a-half years in the jungle deep in the heart of South America living with indigenous tribes and was astounded at how differently children are raised outside the Western world. She came to the realisation that essential child-rearing techniques such as touch, trust and community have been undermined in modern times, and in this book suggests practical ways to regain our natural well-being, for our children and ourselves.

Some Reports and Thoughts for the Second Edition
1: How My Ideas Were so Radically Changed
Seeing first, understanding later, then going to confirm my observations / Arriving at the Continuum Concept
2: The Continuum Concept
What a human being is evolved to expect from life / His inherent tendencies / How the continuum works, in the individual and in the culture
3: The Beginning of Life
Natural birth and traumatic birth / The expectations and tendencies of the infant / The n-arms phase and its consequences in the rest of one’s life / The experience of infants and babies within the continuum and without
4: Growing Up
What it means to be a social animal / The innate talent for self-preservation, the growth of self-reliance and the importance of respecting the child’s responsibility for himself / The assumption of innate sociality and its implications / How a child educates himself / The kind of assistance required of his elders
5: Deprivation of Essential Experiences
The blind search for the missed experiences in every corner of life / The hard-drug addict’s secret / Myths of the fall of man / The two steps away from the state of grace: man’s evolved ability to make an intellectual choice and civilized man’s derailment from the continuum / Relief from thinking, meditation, ritual and other thought-erasers
6: Society
Cultures that suit and cultures that conflict with the continuum / Conformity, reliability, the right not to be bored / Whatever became of joy?
7: Putting Continuum Principles Back to Work
Sex and ‘affection’: distinguishing between the two needs for physical contact / As need continues, so does the possibility of fulfilment / Understanding and defining our needs from the continuum standpoint / Obstacles in our present way of life / The rights of babies / Approaches to reinstating the continuum in ways open to us / Applications of these principles to research
