Birth Without Violence is the first book to express what mothers have always known: babies are born complete human beings with the ability to experience a full range of emotions. It revolutionised the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider birth from the infants point of view.

Written by one of the world's leading obstetricians,Dr Yehudi Gordon, this extraordinary book takes a totally fresh look at what parenting means at the beginning of the 21st century. Addressing both parents, the book looks at all aspects of life, through the nine months of pregnancy and the following nine of the baby's life. It is both a practical handbook for pregnancy, birth and the early months of a new baby's life, and a stimulating exploration of this period of enormous transition. Taking a holistic approach, it advocates integrated health care, i.e. both conventional and complementary therapies, and, with its exhaustive medical content, including a 160 page A-Z section, also acts as a superb source of reference. 544 pages/ hardback with jacket
