Introducing the Social Sciences for Midwifery Practice makes clear
the links between social, anthropological and psychological
concepts, midwifery practice and women's experience of birth.
Demonstrating how empathising with women and understanding the
context in which they live can affect childbirth outcomes and
experiences, this evidence-based text emphasises the importance of
compassionate and humane care in midwifery practice. Exploring
midwifery as an art, as well as a science, the authors collected
here make the case for midwives as professionals working 'with
women' rather than as birth technicians, taking a purely
competency-based approach to practice. The book incorporates a
range of pedagogical features to enhance student learning,
including overall chapter aims and learning outcomes,
'recommendations for practice', 'learning triggers' to encourage
the reader to delve deeper and reflect on practice, 'application to
practice' case studies which ensure that the theory is related to
contemporary practice, and a glossary of terms. The chapters cover
perspectives on birth from sociology; psychology; anthropology;
law; social policy and politics. Other chapters address important
issues such as disability, politics and sexuality. Outlining
relevant theory from the social sciences and clearly applying it to
practice, this text is an essential read for all student midwives,
registered midwives and doulas.
