Handicapped babies: how midwives cope
Research into families with a handicapped child produces numerous examples of the inadequate ways medical personnel inform parents of their child's condition. In the case of the abnormal neonate, midwives have a part to play in this communicating process; thus helping to lay the foundations for satisfactory adjustment by the parents. This paper suggests that midwives need more appropriate training in this important role.
