The book "Early Vocal Contact and Preterm Infant Brain Development" offers a comprehensive analysis of research on early vocal contact (EVC) in preterm infants. It represents an important healthcare strategy aimed at reducing the long-term effects of neonatal hospitalization and promoting the positive aspects of brain development. The chapters begin by examining the unique role of the maternal voice in the development of infants during the fetal and neonatal phases. The book discusses the neurobiological mechanisms underlying EVC, as well as the challenges faced in the development of preterm infants. Various EVC methods used in neonatal intensive care are presented, including direct speaking and singing with preterm infants. Additionally, early family-centered therapies and interventions from fathers and other caregivers are addressed.
