The Midwife-mother Relationship Reviews

New, refreshing, stimulating.' - Tina Heptinstall, University of Greenwich 'An excellent text specifically geared to midwives. I shall recommend all my students have access to a copy. This book is long overdue and covers an under-estimated fundamental part of 'being a midwife'.' - Mrs J. Wright, University College Worcester
