"The newest edition of HEALING PASSAGE brings to minc so many superlatives that it is hard to pick only a few, but comprehensive, thoughtful, caring, in-depth, and up-to-date are amongst those that describe the work Anne Frye has produced herein. Anne has undertaken an incredibly complex mission and produced a stunningly detailed, woman-centered resource which will be understandable, informative and relevant for midwives and other practitioners at every level, from aspiring and beginning midwives to those who have decades of experience in the art and science of perinea care and repair. This text spans every area from pelvic anatomy and the prevention of perineal tears to perineal repair and beyond. Anne has produced more than a book. She has also produced a DVD that complements the text, offering a virtual look at the anatomy in 3-D. In the text, readers will find instructions to make their own pelvic model as well as pictures that can be colored in order to dee, understanding.
If there is anything that a midwife would need to know or think about in relation to this area that is not covered in this book, cannot think of what it is. I highly recommend this text to anyone who cares for pregnant birthing women as the essential resource in this area."
