  Embryonic Recapitulation
The idea that human embryonic development recapitulates the evolutionary pathway has long been disproved but is still taught in some textbooks.
The Heritage of the Recapitulation Theory by Henry M. Morris
'ontogenesis is a brief and rapid recapitulation of phylogenesis, determined by the physiological functions of heredity (generation) and adaptation (maintenance).'" Haeckel, E. Riddle of the Universe at the Close of the Nineteenth Century.

  Recapitulation theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, is a theory in biology which attempts to explain apparent similarities between humans and other animals.
Although Haeckel's specific form of recapitulation theory is now discredited among biologists, it did have a strong impact in social and educational theories of the late 19th century.
Stanley Hall was based on the premise that growing children would recapitulate evolutionary stages of development as they grew up and that there was a one-to-one correspondence between childhood stages and evolutionary history, and that it was counterproductive to push a child ahead of its development stage.

 RECAPITULATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
"Recapitulation" (also called the "Biogenetic law") is the theory that, at different stages in your development as an embryo, you had the organs of your supposed evolutionary ancestors.
The concept of "recapitulation" is based on the fact that there are similarities among embryos of people, animals, reptiles, birds, and fish.
The evolutionary theory of "recapitulation" declares that human embryos have organs which are leftovers from evolutionary ancestors.

recapitulation theory, stated as the biogenetic law by E. Haeckel, that the embryological development of the individual repeats the stages in the evolutionary development of the species.
For example, the beginnings of gill clefts appear in both humans and fish, but while they are elaborated and eventually function in the fish, in humans, except for the modified gill cleft that becomes the Eustachian tube, they disappear as the embryo develops.
Though drastically modified and qualified since its proposal, the historical significance of this theory— "ontogenesis recapitulates phylogenesis" —is that with its appearance it lent support to the theory of evolution by seeming to corroborate it.

Recapitulation of one's life is a stinking idea and one that tells me that these people didn't even understand anything about emotional energy.
Even under the best of circumstances, recapitulation seems to bring a person back psychologically to what might be called "ground zero", where one may no longer be suffering direct negative effects from past events and patterns which were crippling before.

 Recapitulation theory
"Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", also called the "biogenetic law" or the "theory of recapitulation", is a now discredited hypothesis in biology first espoused in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel.
While for instance the phylogeny of humans as having evolved from fish through reptiles to mammals is generally accepted, no cleanly defined "fish", "reptile" and "mammal" stages of human embryonal development can be discerned.

 FreeDict: recapitulation
Some authors recognize two types of recapitulation, palingenesis, in which the truly ancestral characters conserved by heredity are reproduced during development; and cenogenesis (kenogenesis or coenogenesis), the mode of individual development in which alterations in the development process have changed the original process of recapitulation and obscured the evolutionary pathway.
This recapitulation of ancestral characters in ontogeny is not complete, however, for not all the stages are reproduced in every case, so far as can be perceived; and it is irregular and complicated in various ways among others by the inheritance of acquired characters.
Palingenesis is recapitulation without any fundamental changes due to the later modification of the primitive method of development, while in coenogenesis, the mode of development has suffered alterations which obscure the original process of recapitulation, or support it entirely.

 The Recapitulation of Revelation 19 and 20 - Fowler White
In the past, advocates of recapitulation have tried to make their case by showing that the principle of recapitulation affects the interpretation of Revelation in general and therefore must affect the interpretation of Rev 20:1–10 in particular.
The case for recapitulation in Rev 20:1–10 rests initially on the observable discrepancy between the events depicted in 19:11–21 and 20:1–3 when those visions are read as a historical chronicle, i.e., when they are read as if the order of their presentation in the text represents the actual progress of history.
The recapitulation in 11:1–13 may be discerned by keeping in mind two things: (1) the timetable of divine vengeance and (2) the character of the trumpet cycle as divine vengeance.

 Recapitulation - How People Act Out Early Emotional Wounds
There are many kinds of recapitulations; all are ways of creating situations that allow a person to continue to deal with unresolved feelings, situations, energy, etc. The first six were formulated by my teacher, William Emerson, Ph.D.; more details are available in some publications currently available through his office.
For instance, it is possible that the woman with the overbearing father might avoidantly recapitulate in her marriage by choosing a passive husband, use identification recapitulation with co-workers, and take a generative approach by supporting non-profit agencies who rescue children from abusive homes.
Keep in mind that if people are recapitulating their emotional wounds, regardless of how "productive" they might be, they are still trapped by the energy of those early wounding experiences.

 Recapitulation theory Summary
Haeckel's law, also known as the theory of recapitulation, states that ontogeny is the short and rapid recapitulation of phylogeny.
The biogenetic law is epitomized in Ernst Haeckel's (1834-1919) phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." However, the biogentic law is based on the law of corresponding stages established by Karl Ernst von Baer (1792-1876), one of the founders of modern embryology.
The fact that the literal form of recapitulation theory is rejected by modern biologists has sometimes been used as an argument against evolution by some creationists.

The recapitulation re-presents the thematic material that originally appeared in the exposition section, placing it all in the tonic key (that is, the overall key of the movement).
The recapitulation is not always a straightforward image of the exposition; it usually contains a secondary development section, and also sometimes rearranges the order of the musical material.
In biology, the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, a contemporary of Darwin, believed that each successive stage in the development of an individual represented one of the adult forms that appeared in its evolutionary history.

 Fraud rediscovered
This idea (called embryonic recapitulation) was vigorously expounded by Ernst Haeckel from the late 1860s to promote Darwin’s theory of evolution in Germany, even though Haeckel did not have evidence to support his views.
Nevertheless, the recapitulation idea is still advanced as evidence for the theory of evolution in many books and particularly encyclopedias and by evolutionary popularizers like the late Carl Sagan.
It was Haeckel who popularised the idea with his catchy phrase ‘ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny’ (meaning that the development of the human embryo in the womb is a rerun of the steps in man’s alleged evolutionary rise from a primitive creature).

He saw the recapitulation as the essential factor in a dreamer's redefinition and redeployment of energy.
He explained that recapitulating an event starts with one's mind arranging everything pertinent to what is being recapitulated.
Arranging means reconstructing the event, piece by piece, starting by recollecting the physical details of the surroundings, then going to the person with whom one shared the interaction, and then going to oneself, to the examination of one's feelings.
