Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Birth Without Violence Author: Frédérick Leboyer Publisher: Fontana/Collins (an imprint of HarperCollins) Publication Year: Tenth impression, February 1987 (first Fontana edition 1977; original French 1974) ISBN: 0-00-635619-2 / 9780006356196 Format: Paperback, approx. 106 pages + plates Condition: Near Fine Frédérick Leboyer's groundbreaking classic Birth Without Violence (original French title: Pour une naissance sans violence, 1974) is a profound, poetic, and visually striking manifesto for gentle, conscious childbirth. This is the UK Fontana/Collins mass-market paperback edition (Tenth impression, February 1987), translated from the French by the author and others. Leboyer (1918-2017), a French obstetrician and former Chef de Clinique at the Paris Faculty of Medicine, revolutionized modern birthing practices. Drawing on his extensive clinical experience, he argues that conventional hospital births—bright lights, harsh noises, abrupt handling—inflict unnecessary trauma on the newborn. Instead, he advocates for a calm, warm, dimly lit environment that respects the baby's transition from womb to world: immediate skin-to-skin contact with the mother, gentle handling, delayed cord clamping, and allowing the infant to move at their own pace. The book blends philosophical reflection, psychological insight, and practical guidance, challenging the medical establishment's view of the newborn as an object rather than a sentient being. It remains influential in natural birth, midwifery, and attachment parenting circles worldwide. This edition is richly illustrated with powerful black-and-white photographs (primarily by Frédérick Leboyer himself and Pierre-Marie Goulet, with a few from I.M.S. Stockholm). The images capture the raw emotion, tenderness, and intensity of birth—newborns emerging, crying, bonding, and being gently supported. They complement Leboyer's lyrical prose perfectly, making the book both a visual and emotional experience. No dust jacket (as issued for this paperback). Key Features: Iconic cover with black-and-white birth photograph. Publication history on copyright page confirming details. 105+ pages of text and photos. Vintage 1980s Fontana/Collins edition, printed in Great Britain. A seminal work in the gentle birth movement, often credited with inspiring water births and more humane obstetric practices. Scarce in this specific impression on the secondary market. Perfect for collectors of birth history, midwifery, psychology, or alternative medicine titles. Condition Notes: Covers show light rubbing and edge wear consistent with age. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding solid. A well-preserved copy of this influential title. About the Author: Frédérick Leboyer was a pioneering French obstetrician, author, and activist. Born in Paris in 1918, he studied medicine at the University of Paris and practiced for decades. His 1974 book sparked global debate and change in maternity care. He later explored yoga, massage, and holistic approaches to childhood. Leboyer passed away in Switzerland in 2017 at age 98.
