This 4P's approach is a mechanistic, simplistic way of looking at birth popularised in Obstetric texts such as Beischer and Mackay. Though I do not think he included the psyche, nor any sociology ??

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Labour and Birth - the 4 P's ????
Hi everybody
Does anybody out there have any information on the 4 P's of labour and birth
(passage, passenger, powers, psyche). I'm a BMidder at UniSA and we have
been asked to consider these in relation to the anatomy, physiology,
psychology, sociology and midwifery care surrounding normal labour and
birth. I'M STUCK!!!
I can't find any information in our texts so if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Cheers Tania
