About this audiobook
In this groundbreaking work, psychoanalyst Otto Rank explores the profound psychological impact of the birth experience on the human psyche. Rank argues that the transition from the womb to the outside world is the first and most significant trauma we face, shaping our subsequent development and relationships. Drawing on his clinical observations and theoretical insights, Rank offers a compelling perspective on the origins of anxiety, the formation of the ego, and the dynamics of the mother-child bond.
