Birth without Violence revolutionised the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider birth from the infant's point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body? Fr???d???rick Leboyer's Birth Without Violence is one of the milestones in the history of humanizing childbirth. It was 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. This Pinter & Martin edition is the definitive edition, published exactly how the author intended it.

When my first son was a few weeks old the area around his foreskin got infected, causing the skin to stick together. Evidently the doctor who separated my son's delicate skin knows more than my son, because - despite my sons desperate wailing - he was convinced that the process doesn't really hurt. That was eleven years ago. As I read Leboyer's book this year (waiting for my second son to be born) I couldn't stop recalling that evening in the hospital. I stood by as my son cried for help, knowing intuitively that this is wrong, but being too afraid to question the "expert". Leboyer helped me understand what I didn't see clearly before. Grown ups throughout the world regularly go to therapy to overcome the traumas they experienced as children. Many times those traumas are inflicted by loving parents doing the best they can. It's just that children experience things differenly than we do, and when they are finally old enough to understand WHY we did all of those things, the damage is usually already done. This book changed my yet-to-be born younger childs life. Because it changed me and the way I see him.
