This text 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, this evidence-based text emphasises the importance of compassionate and humane care in midwifery practice.
