Présentation de l'éditeur
Though much has been written about twins, very little research has been done into their everyday lives, both postnatal and prenatal. In this fascinating new study Alessandra Piontelli follows the development and behaviour of thirty pairs of twins from their early life in the womb through to their third year of childhood. Drawing on detailed ultrasound observations and work with mothers and families in clinical and natural settings, the text traces the subtle ways in which various types of twins live, behave and interact with their unequally shared and unique pre- and postnatal environments.
Piontelli shows how from early on distinctive and personal traits can be seen in the behaviour of each member of a twin couple and how these traits continue and strengthen well beyond birth. The book describes not only the behaviour of the twins, but the impact they have on the lives of their family and carers - what family members say, how they react and how the family changes.
Scientifically based, but warmly human in content, this unique longitudinal study offers new insight for professionals working with mothers and families of twins and for researchers in human development across a range of disciplines.

I bought this book as I had read another book from the same author. At
last she was back! However I also was rather preoccupied. Her first book
had acquired almost iconic status amongst prenatal psychologists.
Prenatal psychology seems to have developed into a hazy field full of
fancy leaps, unverified facts and with a mystical aura added to it. I was
thrilled to know that, contrary to many of her colleagues, the author had
had the courage to start almost from scratch and fully immerse herself
into first-hand work. I found the initial chapters demystifying fancy
views on fetal life absolutely fantastic. True science at its best!
However also the rest of the book is fascinating. In showing how genes
and environment constantly interact, it teaches us a lot about early
human development in general. Photography adds conviction to most points
all along. In addition I found the massive bibliography extremely
helpful. I would strongly recommend this book to parents and
professionals alike. I hope this author will soon produce another book!

This book deals with the development of twins from before birth. I consider this to be a revolutionary book as it takes into account all factors that contribute to the devolpment of twins. Too often have this facotrs been ignored. Although the book is clearly written by an outstanding scholar, the style could appeal to a very wide audience, from partents to physicians. A true must for anyone interested in the field of child devolpment.
