Honoring Michel Odent
I met Michel Odent (July 7, 1930 - August 19, 2025) through my work as the Director of Education at the Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health. I was able to interview him for the Journal , and remember feeling transformed as I relistened to our talk as I drove home. He is someone who has transformed so many. He has written so many books, and helped establish a revolution in the care for birthing people, through awareness and practice. He was an obstetrician and a surgeon. I remember Mary Jackson saying she went to spend time with him in his clinic where had birth pools and gentle birth practice. I remember his saying that optimal conditions for birthing people were to have the person labor in a dark, cave-like room with a midwife in the corner, knitting. He helped establish the Primal Health Research Center in London, and designed a database, the Primal Health Research Database. His books include:
Birth Reborn (1984, Pantheon, NY)
Primal Health (1986. Century Hutchinson. London)
Water and sexuality (1990, Penguin Books)
The Farmer and the Obstetrician (Free Association Books)
The Caesarean (Free Association Books )
The Scientification of Love (Free Association Books)
The Functions of the Or***ms: The Highways to Transcendence (2009, Pinter & Martin Ltd.)
Childbirth in the Age of Plastics (2011, Pinter & Martin Ltd.)
Childbirth and the Future of Homo sapiens (2013, Pinter & Martin Ltd.), reissued as Childbirth and the Evolution of Homo sapiens in 2014
Do we need Midwives? (2015, Pinter & Martin Ltd.)
The Birth of Homo, the Marine Chimpanzee (2017, Pinter & Martin Ltd.)
The Future of Homo (2019, World Scientific Publishing Co. Ltd.)
Planet Ocean (2021. Clairview Books).
Can Humanity survive Socialised birth? (2023. Pinter & Martin).
He was a gamechanger of a person for our world. He lived long, and left a legacy. Thank you so much Michel Odent.
