Description

Birth Crisis by Sheila Kitzinger explores the experiences of women who suffer from traumatic stress after childbirth. This book delves into the causes of this issue, including increased intervention during pregnancy and the shift in emphasis towards technology in childbirth.

Kitzinger examines how family, friends, and professional caregivers can support traumatized mothers, as well as how women can work through their stress to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The book also discusses the need for change within the medical system and care practices.

Based on real-life experiences and mothers' voices, Birth Crisis offers a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and overcome traumatic birth experiences. It is an essential read for midwives, health professionals, and women looking to learn how to support themselves and others in this situation.
