Sommario/riassunto |

Trials of Labour is a detailed study of the available social science literature on childbirth and midwifery. Brian Burtch highlights the difficulties associated with the present lack of regulation of midwifery, pointing to ways of reducing the dangers through establishing guidelines for domiciliary midwifery. |
