by Robbie Davis-Floyd and Ashish PremkumarThe final volume in this landmark 3-volume series The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession looks at the challenges, and even violence, that obstetricians face across the world.

Obstetricians Speak: On Training, Practice, Fear, and Transformation (The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession #1)
by Robbie Davis-Floyd and Ashish PremkumarFor the first time ever in a social science work, obstetricians tell their own stories of training, practice, fear, and transformation in this the first of the 3-volume series The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession. These stories range from those of abortion providers to those of maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Several chapters tell the stories of obstetricians who have made paradigm shifts from technocratic to humanistic practices, the benefits and joys of these paradigm shifts, and the ostracism, bullying, and outright persecution these humanistic obstetricians have suffered. This book is a must-read for students, social scientists, and all maternity care practitioners who seek to understand the ideologies and motives of individual obstetricians. An excerpt from Kathleen Hanlon-Lundberg’s chapter: Largely maligned in reproductive anthropological literature as callous—if not brutal—self-serving effectors of the over-medicalization of childbirth, most obstetricians whom I know and have worked with are devoted to providing respectful, individualized care to their patients.

by M. J. Heineman J.L.H. Evers L.F.A.G. Massuger E.A.P. SteegersHet leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie. De voortplanting van de mens is een modern standaardwerk. De didactische opbouw, heldere stijl en de hoogwaardige illustraties maken het tot een onovertroffen leerboek. Elk hoofdstuk begint met leerdoelen en definities en wordt afgesloten met een samenvatting en een blik op de toekomst. Historie, methodologische aspecten, epidemiologie en demografie hebben een eigen plaats in de tekst, die is onderverdeeld in leer- en leesstukken. In kaders worden samenvattingen aangeboden. Casussen brengen theorie en praktijk bij elkaar. De referenties omvatten zowel klassieke en recente literatuur als vele internetadressen. in deze nieuwe, zevende druk is niet alleen de informatie geactualiseerd, maar zijn ook enkele nieuwe hoofdstukken (De jonge zwangerschap en Pre-maligne aandoeningen) toegevoegd. Daarnaast zijn er prachtige nieuwe illustraties opgenomen die eerder werden gepubliceerd in het boek Obstetrische interventies. En dat is niet alles: er is ook een begin gemaakt met een aan dit leerboek gekoppelde elektronische leeromgeving waar aanvullende informatie gevonden kan worden. Kijk voor verdere verdieping op de website StudieCloud.Het leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie heeft een lange geschiedenis. In 1973 verscheen, onder leiding van prof. dr. G.J. Kloosterman, De voortplanting van de mens, het voornaamste leerboek voor obstetrie en gynaecologie van de jaren zeventig en tachtig van de vorige eeuw. Het boek kwam tot stand door een goede samenwerking tussen de Nederlandstalige universiteitsklinieken en was uniek omdat voor het eerst in één leerboek alle onderdelen van de obstetrie en gynaecologie een plaats kregen. In 1993 nam prof. dr. P.J. Treffers het hoofdredacteurschap over en beleefde het boek, waarvan de titel was gewijzigd in Obstetrie en gynaecologie, twee drukken. Vanaf de derde druk is de uitgave herzien onder leiding van prof. dr. M.J. Heineman samen met nieuwe en jonge auteurs, allen werkend in vooraanstaande opleidingsklinieken, aan het bestaande schrijverscollectief toegevoegd waarmee de actualiteit van het leerboek gegarandeerd wordt.Inmiddels werken ruim zeventig specialisten, vrijwel allen actief in de zorg, mee aan dit boek. Daarmee wordt een volledig beeld gekregen van de obstetrie, gynaecologie en voortplantingsgeneeskunde en beschikken wij opnieuw over een compleet en overzichtelijk standaard
