Review
"This ground breaking book examines spiritual care in midwifery practice. This offers the reader a new way of thinking about practice and how holistic, woman centred care can be achieved. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to midwives both in clinical practice and education." Alison Brown, Midwifery Lecturer, British Journal of Midwifery, vol 10, February 2002
From the Publisher
All midwives have a professional obligation through the Midwives' Rules to meet the spiritual needs of mothers. This topical and easy to read book will help you. It explains the nature of spiritual care, dispelling the myth that it is only concerned with religion, and explores its role as an integral part of midwifery practice, using case histories as illustrations. The issues relating to educating midwives and students are discussed and suggestions made for course content. Exploration is made of the role of others in giving spiritual care and how the midwife fits in to these present patterns of care. The conclusion of this book provides a resource for potential future research questions.
