Abstract

This paper proposes that childbirth be viewed as a social, rather than just a physiological or even psychological, event. It proposes a program--within a broader community approach to child protection, child welfare, and family development--aimed at altering hospital policies and practices so that the birth of a child is treated as a more family-centered procedure.
