In Praise of a Doctor Who Welcomes the Newborn Infant Person
This article recalls how Dr. Berry Brazelton, in the past 50 years, has transformed pediatrics and childcare and supported parents' understanding of their young children. Berry's work as a pediatrician and basic research in the psychobiology of childbirth and infant communication and care have proved to be richly complementary. Brazelton and the author were fortunate to meet in the context of the wide exploration of human nature and adaptations of human intelligence for cooperative life encouraged by Jerome Bruner's vision of how cultural awareness of meaning may be generated in affectionate relations from infancy.

This theory accommodates both epigenetics—mediating genes and environment within the individual, and culture—a dynamic, emergent phenomenon transmitting contextually adaptive child‐rearing beliefs and practices.

The Competent Newborn and the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale: T. Berry Brazelton's Legacy
This article celebrates Berry Brazelton's extraordinary contribution to our understanding of child development by focusing on two representative themes.
