About this product
Product Information
It astounds the western world that such a highly industrialized nation as the Netherlands has a marked preference for home birth assisted by midwives. The author examines Dutch attitudes and practices surrounding birth from a sociohistorical point of view, explaining the importance of ideological consensus, the private nature of the Dutch family, the high regard for comfort and well being, and the professional development of midwives as trained and licensed practitioners. This volume should be of interest to those convinced of the value of low-intervention home birth, as well as practitioners who must rely on technological procedures to manage the birth process.Product Identifiers
