Description
The book begins by exploring the historical and current research evidence in this area in detail, outlining the 'facts' and the questions
which remain unanswered. The results of research carried out to expand midwifery knowledge in this area are also presented and discussed.
A reflective approach is taken throughout, which raises critical questions of philosophy and practice relating to this and other areas
of knowledge.
