«Por un nacimiento sin violencia» is Frédérick Leboyer's essay on childbirth, published by Mandala Ediciones in paperback (154 pages, in Spanish).
Leboyer examines childbirth from the newborn's point of view and denounces the violence that coming into the world entails for the baby. He advocates a humane, sensitive approach in which the infant ceases to be an outcome and becomes the protagonist; the mother gives birth; the baby is born. The book offers concrete keys to a respectful birth.
The work belongs to the Lux Natura Collection; its original French title is «Pour une naissance sans violence» and the Spanish edition includes a translation by Pepe Aguado.
Recommended for obstetrics professionals, expectant parents, and readers interested in a more humane approach to birth.
Frédérick Leboyer was a French obstetrician and author. He is best known for his 1975 book, Birth Without Violence, which popularized gentle birthing techniques. He also advocated low lighting and quiet in a warm room to limit the supposed shock of birth,[Reynolds, Concise Encyclopedia of Special Education, 138] and that a newborn be laid on its mother's stomach and allowed to bond, instead of being taken away for tests.
