Abstract

The psychosomatic, psychoanalytic and sociological approaches to childbearing are discussed. It is argued that behavioural scientists' emphasis on how women should react to childbearing has oppressed women and has hindered the collection of accurate information. Some advantages of a phenomenological approach to the study of women's experience are suggested. 1975 Australian Psychological Society
