'After the historic student revolt in France a period of audacious
creativity resulted. The watchword was: "It is forbidden to
forbid". We took advantage of this transient cultural folly to do
what would have been impossible ten years before or ten years
after, introducing in the maternity unit of a state hospital an
inflatable outdoor pool as a way to replace drugs during birth.' -
from the Introduction In this groundbreaking book, Dr Odent takes
as his starting point the world-famous work on childbirth at
Pithiviers, where he first noticed the strong attraction to water
that many women have during labour. As well as discovering the
practical advantages of water during the birthing process, he began
to consider the meaning and importance of water as a symbol. Water,
Birth and Sexuality examines the living power of water and its
erotic connotations. Odent evaluates what water meant in different
cultures throughout history, through myths and legends, and what it
means for us today: from an advertiser's tool to a metaphor for
aspects of the psyche. He also studies humanity's special
relationship to dolphins, and the related 'aquatic ape' theory.A
practical section on the use of water during birth and in various
therapies, particularly sex therapy, is included. This edition of
this classic work features a new Introduction.
