Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. How does the midwife begin to bridge
the divide between technician and nurturer? Midwifery claims to be a profession that combines both art and science, yet it is currently
more ?science' than ?art' This title provides relevant theory and practical tools to enable midwives to begin to bridge this divide and
explore alternative ways of thinking and being. The majority of the writers are midwives and midwife teachers who have spent several
years exploring these issues in theory and practice, frequently from a unique perspective. This title is intended for markets outside
the United States.
