JPE-The Journal of a True Profession
1RAYMOND DE VRIES is President of Lamaze International and a member of the editorial board for The Journal of Perinatal Education. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Center for Bioethics at the University of Minnesota and professor of sociology at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. He has just completed a book, A Pleasing Birth (Temple University Press), that describes midwifery and maternity care in the Netherlands and outlines the way to reform overly medical maternity care systems.
Abstract:
The Journal of Perinatal Education (JPE) is to be admired, not just because of its new look, but because it offers a model of a professional journal that other occupational groups would do well to emulate. Childbirth educators have found a way to organize themselves that avoids the pitfalls of professionalism, and JPE reflects that attitude toward professional service. It is a journal that offers original, high-quality research, translates research for practical use, and treats its readers as whole people.
