* This issue of AB INITIO was produced by Aoife Nugent, who studied Journalism at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. AB INITIO ("from the beginning") is the international newsletter of the Brazelton Institute (www.brazelton-institute.com). The primary aim of the new on-line AB INITIO international is to publish the latest ideas on newborn and infant development and on the NBAS in particular, and to facilitate communication among researchers, educators and clinicians, working with infants and families in different settings across the world.
