"The Oxytocin Factor by Dr. Kerstin Uvnas Moberg is the first book to reveal the importance of the whole oxytocin system for a general audience. Both the new research findings and the potentially beneficial applications of this hormone - which biotech firms are now trying to synthesize - in reducing anxiety states, stress, addictions, and problems of childbirth are fascinating and of great significance in all our lives."--BOOK JACKET.
