ill., br. L'Italia in questi ultimi decenni è stata testimone di una straordinaria e silenziosa rivoluzione sociale che riguarda il modo e il luogo di nascere, con conseguenze diverse e ancora non del tutto chiare. La medicalizzazione ha, in parte, contribuito ad aumentare la sopravvivenza materno-infantile ma corre il rischio di sopraffare la normalità del parto fisiologico, trasformando ogni donna in una "paziente" come se l'evento nascita fosse "patologico" in sé. Eppure la maggior parte delle donne e dei bambini sono soggetti "sani" e come tali devono essere osservati, accompagnati e assistiti. Il volume nasce dall'esperienza clinica e di formazione nei corsi per ostetriche e medici tenuti dalle autrici, a cui si aggiunge il contributo di diversi professionisti da anni impegnati a cambiare l'attuale assistenza alla nascita fisiologica. L'intento è cercare di connettere il sapere di base e quello clinico/critico, fondato sulle evidenze scientifiche (ma non solo), per favorire la fisiologia, per tradurre in pratica assistenziale il principio che le normalità sono tante, per rigenerare la pratica ostetrica coniugando "mani, cervello e cuore". Il testo è attraversato da parole di donne e operatori e da intermezzi poetico-letterari per ricordare che il linguaggio sulla nascita non è soltanto quello medico.

290 pages. Most extant histories of obstetrics have been written by the profession - and stress the continuity and benefits of professional development - or by its critics, who stress the political maneuvering that eliminated the traditional female midwife in favor of a "medicalizing" of pregnancy and childbirth disadvantageous to women. In this controversial work, a third history of obstetrics is presented that is in the history of Michel Foucault's "histories that are not history." He uses the archive of the profession to expose and elaborate the deployment of obstetrical power in the post World War II period. Usual library markings with only a rubber stamp to the top edge visible externally. Front endpaper missing. Moderate wear. Few light pencil markings else clean. Binding intact. Good working copy.

First edition, 8vo (215 x 130 mm), [4], x, [1], xiv-xvi, 255, [1]pp., without half-title, some light spotting, cont. calf, rubbed, neatly rebacked retaining the original red morocco spine label. William Osborn (1736?1808), man-midwife. "With Thomas Denman, Osborn set up a private school of midwifery, and they taught together from about 1770 to 1782... Together Denman and Osborn were believed to have educated more than 1200 practitioners in midwifery. In 1783 Osborn published An essay on laborious parturition: in which the division of the symphysis pubis is particularly considered. Sigault and other Frenchmen had advocated the use of this operation, and in England William Hunter (1718?1783) had expressed a favourable opinion on it. Osborn thought it useless and dangerous. In this volume Osborn advocated the use of the crochet in cases where the pelvis was abnormally small."?(Oxford DNB).-
