Birth with R. D. Laing

Psychiatrist R. D. Laing takes a critical look at childbirth practices in Western society and raises questions concerning the immediate and long-term effects of the detached, routine procedures used by the medical profession. Women discuss their lack of involvement in the birthing process, the use of drugs, uncomfortable birthing positions and the employment of questionable surgical procedures.
