offered in this book derives from an evidence-base. *
Trauma-Informed: The foundation for trauma-informed treatment is

Midwives are essential for healthy nations! This narrative
'herstory' uncovers some of the mysteries and challenges during the
past 100 years that surrounded a beleaguered profession and its
global organisation, the International Confederation of Midwives
(ICM). It tells the story of the power that a unified force of
strong women leading the ICM and its midwifery associations did for
Safe Motherhood and empowering women throughout the world. Their
efforts resulted in today's ICM being a vital standard-setting
group for midwives and a respected advocate for the sexual and
reproductive health and rights of adolescents and women, for
healthy mothers and newborns, and, globally, for healthy nations.
Jane Dwinell has written an important book using real-life
scenarios to illustrate her unique philosophy of childbirth, one
that can only inspire women to take greater control over how and
where they give birth. From her vantage point as a birth attendant,
Dwinell recounts the moving birth experiences of twenty different
women. Thus the reader learns that there are no right or wrong ways
to give birth. In fact, the author shows how satisfying it can be
for women to exercise their own strength, power and choice in the
birth process instead of yielding to unnecessary technological and
medical interventions. Birth, she says, is a process of wellness,
not illness. Hence, most women don't need medication to help them
deal with normal birth pains if they have the proper empowering
support during labor.
When women give birth in a comfortable setting of their choice,
the medical wrongs against them, committed in hospitals in the name
of safety and technology, are prevented. In the face of opposition
from an entrenched segment of the medical establishment, Dwinell
dares the view that hospital care should not be routine but should
be given only with good reason and the women's permission. For
pregnant women and their partners, "Birth StorieS" makes a
convincing argument that under normal circumstances wach women's
intuitive knowledge and individual resources can help her to labor
and deliver successfully in her own way. Nurses, midwives, doctors,
and birth educators will find it useful to realize that there are
many ways to give birth . . . that it is important for the family
to be together and make their own choices . . . and that pregnant
women can have safe births without excessive medical intervention.
This book can also serve as a guide for professionals who want to
develop this type of birthing model within their own
institution.
Depression is the most common complication of childbirth and
results in adverse health outcomes for both mother and child. It is
vital, therefore, that health professionals be ready to help women
who have depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder in
the perinatal period. Now in its third edition, Depression in New
Mothers provides a comprehensive approach to treating postpartum
depression in an easy-to-use format. It reviews the research and
brings together the evidence-base for understanding the causes and
for assessing the different treatment options, including those that
are safe for breastfeeding mothers. It incorporates research from
psychoneuroimmunology and includes chapters on: assessing
depression mother-infant sleep traumatic birth experiences infant
temperament, illness, and prematurity childhood abuse and partner
violence psychotherapy complementary and integrative therapies
community support for new mothers antidepressant medication suicide
and infanticide. This most recent edition incorporates new research
findings from around the world on risk factors, the use of
antidepressants, the impact of breastfeeding, and complementary and
integrative therapies as well as updated research into
racial/ethnic minority differences. Rich with case illustrations
and invaluable in treating mothers in need of help, this practical,
evidence-based guide dispels the myths that hinder effective
treatment and presents up-to-date information on the impact of
maternal depression on the mother and their infants alike.
Children have the right to be safe in our world and we all have a
responsibility to ensure this happens. Midwives play a key role in
enhancing relationships between a child and its parents for future
well being. The book explores how the pressures inherent in the
transition to parenting, and individual and social circumstances
may make it difficult for mothers to respond sensitively to their
babies' needs. Midwives are encouraged to use their skills of
observation and analysis to recognise and provide appropriate
emotional, educational and practical support to assist vulnerable
women to bond with their baby and the baby in turn forming a secure
attachment with it's mother. Midwives are also in a unique position
to recognise potential or actual child abuse and are required to
take such action as is necessary to safeguard the child from harm.
This book provides midwives with confidence to undertake this role
effectively. * Accessible easy to read style for busy working
midwives * A sensitive approach to the subject of child protection
* Step by step guidance through child protection procedures * Non
judgemental approach considering both the needs of the child and
the plight of the parent * Case histories link theory to practice
