professional responsibility for the management of all aspects of
labour including pain control. Alternative methods of pain relief
by midwives are being used increasingly, and will continueto be
while the use of drugs such as pethidine for controlling labour
pain is no longer routine. No book has existed till now which looks

point of view. Existing titles are very medical and pharmacological
in approach. This book looks at all aspects of pain relief in
labour, covering the physiological processes involved in the
perception of pain and relates them to the physiological process of
labour. Management of pain in labour is dealt with from the
midwife's point of view and particular emphasis is given to
non-pharmacological methods of pain control, including
complementary therapies. Pharmacological methods of pain control
are also included.Examines pain management in labour from the point
of view of the modern professional midwife Includes coverage of the
