This contemporary text presents a treatment of childbearing content and an elaboration of the care delivery system, including cultural aspects, current research abstracts, and delivery of maternity care in the community. Organised according to phases of the childbearing cycle, the second edition emphasises critical thinking and three kinds of decision making: ethical, diagnostic, and therapeutic; as well as the psychological, social, cultural and economic aspects of the childbearing family. It retains the Case Study/Care Plan format and includes an increased number of tables, boxed highlighted information, and illustrations.
