From the author: Additional education has become very popular today, especially among young professionals. Additional education has a more flexible organizational structure and involves a wide variety of forms of training. Being a freely organized activity, it should respond more subtly to the individual needs of students. Additional education, like any other type of education, is conducted according to specific educational programs, but there are certain principles, methods and technologies that distinguish it as a special type of education, as stated in Art. 26 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education”. Recently, a number of scientific studies have noted increased interest in the study of human mental life in the prenatal period, the process of perception and consolidation of information in the memory of an unborn child, conditions for the formation and development of motherhood and fatherhood. Scientific research (N.P. Kovalenko, 2001; V.I. Brutman, G.G. Filippova, I.Yu. Khamitova, 2002; R.V. Ovcharova, 2003; Dobryakov I.V., 2007, etc.) conducted in the field of perinatal psychology, allowed us to take a fresh look at the problem of mental health of the population, the psychology of the personality of women and families, motherhood and childhood. Perinatal psychology is a new field of knowledge that studies the circumstances and patterns of development of the human psyche in the early stages: antenatal, intranatal and neonatal phase, and their influence on the entire subsequent life of the individual. Perinatal psychology is actually one of the first stages of personality research, devoted to the study of the role of genetic and congenital factors in the formation of a person’s mental characteristics and his psychological health. Perinatal psychology has a special role in obtaining reliable data on the mental, emotional, psychophysiological development of the fetus in the embryonic period. Perinatal psychology integrates knowledge from various fields of science and forms new paradigms, approaches, and research methods that do not separate the physiological and psychological components of the human body. Today, ideological and psychological preparation for the birth of a child is absent both in the education system and in the modern culture of Russian society. One of the tasks of perinatal psychology is the development of theory, methodology and practice in the field of psychological adaptation, psychoprophylaxis and correction of a woman’s condition during pregnancy and childbirth. Understanding the importance of psychoprophylactic preparation of married couples and pregnant women for childbirth, and also taking into account the need to popularize perinatal education among young people, On the basis of the Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, a curriculum for the program “Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Perinatal Psychology” has been developed.
