- Description
- Birth Territory Theory can be used to describe, explain and predict how the 'birth territory' affects women and babies at all stages of childbearing, in particular during labour and birth ; The theory shows how to restructure the 'birth territory' to create a 'sanctum' rather than a 'surveillance environment' ; One factor that has a large impact on a woman's well-being as an embodied self is whether 'integrative power' or 'disintegrative power' is used by the woman herself and/or by others in the 'birth territory' ; We hypothesize that, when 'integrative power' is used within a 'sanctum', the woman is most likely to experience a 'genius birth': a 'genius birth' is one where a woman feels good about herself, however the baby is born.
