A Social History of Maternity and Childbirth

Any book written says as much about the author as it does about its subject, and this volume is a prime example. I came to the topic both as an historian and a midwife, in that order.

HYPNOSIS IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

The writing of a book such as this is an undertaking that has been touched and influenced by so many people and life experiences that it is difficult to know where to begin. We understand that very few of the ideas expressed in these pages are truly original, as they are based on our exposure to numerous books, professors, supervisors, and, of course, our clients themselves. To all of thos…
