MACFARLANE, AIDAN The Psychology of Childbirth.
Cambridge Harvard University Press 1977 0674721063 / 9780674721067 Soft Cover
140 pages, illustrations, pictorial wraps, very good. From the back cover: The physical process of birth is no longer as mysterious as it once was. But many unanswered psychological questions about birth remain unanswered. In this remarkably appealing and personable book, Dr. Macfarlane takes a careful look at a large number of these psychological unknowns. Can a woman's emotional attitude toward pregnancy cause 'morning sickness,' influence the smoothness of labor and delivery, or shape the child's behavior after birth? Can the mother-child relationship be adversely affected by separation immediately after birth? Is the quality of the birth experience improved by home delivery? What are the psychological effects of pain-killing drugs on mother and child? What does the unborn infant see, hear, and feel inside the womb? Is birth a psychological trauma for the child? Although Macfarlane refuses to provide easy answers to such questions, his clear discussion of the available evidence has important consequences for the way in which we understand birth and manage it in our society.
