Fear & Pain. Modern concepts of natural childbirth were first suggested more than 40 years ago by British Obstetrician Grantly Dick Read, who taught that bearing children is not necessarily painful, that pain comes only because of fear, which may interfere with contractions of uterine muscles that open the womb and push the child out through the birth canal. Pavlovian psychologists in Soviet Russia took Dick Read's idea one step farther. Both fear and pain, they reasoned, could be overcome by conditioning. During the 1940s, Soviet doctors began educating mothers to be unafraid of childbirth, and by 1951 hospitals...
Lowering the Barriers. Once he has his patient hypnotized, Psychiatrist Richard A. Kunin, 31, works with the system of "ideomotor responses" (finger signals to indicate answers and reactions) developed by Obstetrician David B. Cheek, a fellow San Franciscan. Dr. Cheek finds that a mere nod or shake of the head during hypnosis is a relatively conscious effort that can cloud what the subject is recalling; finger signals, sometimes so slight that the psychiatrist can perceive them only as the tensing of a tendon on the back of the hand, work at a deep, subconscious level, and do not interfere with...

Within ten minutes after taking off from the airbase helipad, the chopper carrying Jackie, Jack and Dr. John Walsh set down in a 35-m.p.h. wind on Squaw Island, site of Brambletyde, the Kennedys' shingle-sided, rented summer home. Obstetrician Walsh advised Jackie to abandon her social calendar for the remainder of the year, including the up coming state dinners for the King of Afghanistan Sept. 5 and the Emperor of Ethiopia Oct. 1 , to ensure "complete rehabilitation and continuing good health...
When Jackie told the Secret Service man of her pains, he sprinted for the farmhouse, phoned the Kennedy sum mer home on Squaw Island and asked that someone summon Dr. John Walsh, Jackie's obstetrician, who was "vacationing" on the Cape, while actually on stand-by in the event that Jackie's time might come ahead of schedule. Then the Secret Service man rounded up Caroline and John, took them to the car and sped off for Squaw Island, eight miles away...
