"Birth Abuse" by Dr. Beverley Chalmers and Dr. Dana Solomon

LONDON - June 17, 2026 - PRLog -- About the book:

"Birth Abuse" condemns prevalent abuses in perinatal care, and demands radical reform of the way we care for all those having or trying to have babies. This challenging view of perinatal treatment may be painful reading for clients and threatening for caregivers.

Caregivers like to think they offer sensitive and expert clinical care, but perinatal practice is often abusive. It includes physical, emotional, or sexual assaults, and inadequate evidence-based treatment. Abuse is far more common than we ever wanted to imagine.

This book will appeal to anybody connected to maternity and newborn care, including both parents and caregivers, along with academics, researchers, educators and influencers in areas related to pregnancy, birth, parenting, healthcare, abuse, and discrimination.
