Abstract
There have been good medical and moral arguments in support of a team approach to patient care. Although the family is ostensibly a part of the team of heal care professionals, the fact remains that the family is often relegated to the periphery of actual in-patient care. This often has traumatic effects on the patient and family, particularly when the patient is a child. This essay argues that the model of prepared child birth, such as Lamaze, provides a better approach to greater family involvement with the professional team.
