I loved the first-person, personal way in which Dr Chalmers presented the evidence, her evaluation of it,  the reasons for her evaluation, and above all the presentation of her own invaluable research and what she learned from it.

This text reinstates psychosocial issues as a primary focus of care, together with clinical excellence. Family-centred care is a familiar phrase in today's maternity services, with professional guidelines and hospital policies including the term in their care protocols; however, few definitions, and no specific standards, for family-centred care exist. While all caregivers and care services are likely to define their care as sensitive to women's needs, and family-centred, the actual implementation of a family-centred approach - despite it being a current fashion in care - is still inadequate. This book clearly defines family-centred perinatal care, and outlines how truly family-centred care can, and should, be implemented, and how, and where, this has been done.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003e Table of contents\u003cbr\u003e Foreword\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Executive summary\u003cbr\u003e An introduction to family-centred perinatal care\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
