Overview
«Es interesante preguntarse el porqué de todo esto. ¿Por qué el parto tiene semejante intensidad psíquica? ¿Por qué las hormonas que lo dirigen son las mismas que producen la vivencia amorosa? Quiero pensar que la respuesta está ahí, en el amor. El amor entre madres e hijos o hijas, el amor como base de toda la evolución social y comunitaria que ha permitido el fabuloso desarrollo cerebral que produce el lenguaje y la inteligencia humana.
Esta es mi propuesta: comprender el parto desde la psicología y las neurociencias. Partiendo de lo que cuentan las mujeres, integrar los relatos de las vivencias del parto con la ayuda de la psicología, la neuroendocrinología o incluso la neuroimagen. Intentemos integrar los datos y profundizar en el sentido último o evolutivo de lo que observamos.» -Ibone Olza
«Creo que con su excelente libro Ibone arroja luz sobre un tema complicado y controvertido. Y que va a ayudar no solo a las mujeres y a los profesionales de la salud a revisar la aproximación que hacemos al parto, sino que también ayudará en la tarea de recuperar el parto como algo que nos concierne, definitiva y profundamente, a las mujeres.» -Del prólogo de Icíar Bollaín
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Birth is not a manual of medicine, but an essay regarding the most vital experience a woman can go through, from her point of view and the baby’s. A review on our thoughts about birth, what we know, what it has been like historically, and its meaning in the collective imaginary.
“It is interesting to wonder about the why of it all. Why is it that childbirth has such a psychic intensity? Why is it that the very hormones that command it produce the amorous experience? I’d like to think that the answer lies there, in love. Love between mothers and their sons or daughters, love as the foundation of the entire community and social evolution that has allowed for this fabulous brain development that produced language and human intelligence.
This is my proposition: to understand childbirth through psychology and neuroscience. Building on what women say about it, integrating their accounts on the experience of childbirth with the help of psychology, neuroendocrinology, and even neuroimaging. Let’s try and integrate the data, deepening the ultimate or evolutionary sense of what we observe.” —Ibone Olza
