Product Description

Review

'In the 1990s, Shelia Kitzinger set up a Birth Crisis hotline and corresponding workshops to address the concerns of women who contacted her about their difficult birth experiences.  Birth Crisis springs from their stories of distress and healing. Each chapter knits their experiences together with the author's commentary and lists ways to avoid destructive maternity care.' -  Jane Pincus, Vermont, USA

'Birth Crisis provides a thorough explanation of what constitutes a 'medicalized' birth experience and what the symptoms of PTSD are after giving birth. This book also provides women with alternatives to the medical model and provides support for women who may be experiencing trauma after giving birth....Birth Crisis does an excellent job of bringing to light a very important issue in women's health.' - Sara Martino, Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books



Product Description
One new mother in twenty is diagnosed with traumatic stress after childbirth. Drawing on mothers' voices and real-life experiences, Sheila Kitzinger explores the anxiety and panic experienced by these women.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help if you're struggling after birth, 26 Sep 2007
By Helen J. McLachlan (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book after seeing it advertised on the front page of the Birth Trauma Association's website. I read it in one sitting the afternoon it arrived, waiting desperately for my toddler to fall asleep so I could read it in peace. Just reading the Contents page gave reassurance that the book spoke about the issues that were troubling me, and would provide some much-needed help with sorting through the confused thoughts that I have about the horrible birth. On reading further I was not disappointed, but comforted, cheered, consoled, and strengthened by turns. I felt that I was not the odd one out, and was perfectly justified in feeling the way I did. I found this book a huge relief to read. Well recommended.
