Book Description
"In most of the industrialized Western world, the birth process has been almost completely removed from the domain of the woman and the family into the realm of technocratic specialists. To imagine that there exists an industrialized country, the Netherlands, with all the resources of modern medicine, of pharmacology and surgery, where women and care providers actively espouse a noninterventionist stance in childbirth, has always been one of the great puzzles, paradoxes, and revelations in our field. This book traces this most anomalous phenomenon."--Back cover.
