Abstract

In a cross-cultural discussion of the participation of the father in the birth of his child, couvade, is discussed as a specific example of such participation. The current trend in the United States in favor of “natural childbirth” and the use of psychoprophylaxis is discussed. The paper lends support to the social, psychological, and physical value of the father's participation in childbirth.
