This book documents the emergence of doulas as care professionals
in Italy, considers their training, practices, and representation,
and analyses their role in national and international context.
Doulas offer emotional, informational and practical support to
women and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and the
postpartum period. Pamela Pasian explores the development of this
'new' profession and how doulas are defining their space in the
Italian maternity care system. Whilst doulas are gaining
recognition they are also facing opposition. The book reflects on
the conflicts and collaborations between doulas and midwives, as
well as relations between different doula associations.
Interweaving ethnography and autoethnography, it will be of
interest to anthropologists, sociologists and those working in
health and maternity care.
