David Chamberlain

David B. Chamberlain (1928–2014) was a California psychologist, author, and lecturer specializing in prenatal and perinatal psychology. He earned a Ph.D. from Boston University and studied at Randolph-Macon College and Washington State University. His interest in the capacities and experiences of unborn and newborn children developed through his clinical work with hypnotherapy clients reporting vivid early memories. Chamberlain was a founding figure in the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH), serving as its president from 1991 to 1999, and contributed more than 30 scholarly publications.

His books include The Mind of Your Newborn Baby (1998), an expanded edition of Babies Remember Birth, and Windows to the Womb: Revealing the Conscious Baby from Conception to Birth (2013). The Mind of Your Newborn Baby has been translated into numerous languages.
