About the author
Francis J. Mott was a twentieth-century writer whose work centers on the psychological and spiritual significance of prenatal experience, developed with annotations from psychiatrist R. D. Laing. "The Nature of the Self" (Starwalker Press, 2012 reprint) is described by its publisher as a seminal study of how experiences before birth shape later psychological, moral, and spiritual development. "Mythology of the Prenatal Life" (2013 revised edition) is its sequel, extending the argument that prenatal processes reflect an underlying life-pattern found elsewhere in myth and symbol. Both are facsimile reprints of Mott's original texts issued by Starwalker Press, aimed at readers interested in depth psychology, pre- and perinatal psychology, and the theoretical lineage connecting Mott's ideas to later figures such as Laing, rather than at a general audience.
