Considering the findings of recent research and wider literature, and using qualitative research with mothers "Men and Maternity" traces the beginning of men's involvement in childbearing to practicing interventionist medicine. The author discusses the medicalization of childbirth due to the increased involvement of medical practitioners and highlights the risks to mother and child of unnecessary interventions. Additionally, the book examines the difficulties men experience with childbirth, giving particular attention to challenging situations such as fathers' grief. Analyzing the taken-for-granted assumptions about the beneficial contribution men make to childbearing, both as practitioners and as fathers, "Men and Maternity "asks whether there may also be disadvantages to men's involvement.
