This book is not yet another work on obstetric acupuncture, but a tool of central importance for midwife acupuncturists in the delivery room. It presents, in a methodical and clear way, the acupuncture protocols most useful during childbirth.

Its layout, in illustrated and synthetic fact sheets, is remarkably suited to the demands of delivery room work. Deliberately, the points have been repeated whenever they were useful across several indications, so that each chapter contains all the relevant points in one place.
