ABSTRACT

Emotions are the integrating force between mind and body and, if recognised, can contribute to the birth of what the author define as a living individual. If someone brings the heavy burden of emotions into that magical world where life begins with he runs the strong risk of being considered an intruder because the work pressure placed on whoever works in a labour room is huge and the requests from all directions are endless. The emotions psychoanalysts need the courage to bring to life in the labour room, the emotions that will allow the capacity to take the care for a mother and her child to emerge, can be very violent and the more dangerous the more remote they are from conscience. They are dangerous because they act as foreign bodies. The emotion comes to life there, in that newborn couple that manages to transform the taste of milk into a sense of goodness.
