Women's health encompasses far more than the biological processes of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period; it is a multidimensional life experience that includes physical, psychological, social, and legal dimensions. Today, the adoption of person-centered, evidence-based, and holistic approaches in women's healthcare is essential for improving women's quality of life and achieving better health outcomes. Prepared with this perspective, “Holistic Approaches to Women's Health” aims to address diverse aspects of women's health through a multidisciplinary lens, drawing upon the most recent scientific evidence.

This book explores a range of contemporary and priority topics in women's health, including violence in adolescent pregnancies, obstetric violence, and their impact on mental health; the use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and midwifery care in the management of menstrual stress during adolescence; postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders; current clinical and legal approaches to assisted reproductive technologies; evidence-based management of normal birth and the role of midwifery services; psychosocial care and midwifery approaches for women experiencing pregnancy loss; traumatic childbirth and maternal mental health; tokophobia; and the psychosocial effects of social media use during pregnancy.

Each chapter has been developed in accordance with current scientific literature, integrating theoretical knowledge with clinical practice while emphasizing critical thinking and the principles of evidence-based care. The book is intended to serve as a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for students, academics, and healthcare professionals in midwifery, nursing, medicine, psychology, and other health-related disciplines.

Recognizing that the protection and promotion of women's health require more than a purely biomedical perspective, this book highlights the importance of incorporating psychosocial, ethical, legal, and societal dimensions into healthcare delivery. By presenting scientifically grounded and evidence-based content, it aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the health challenges women encounter throughout their lives and to support the implementation of holistic models of care. It is hoped that this book will become a valuable resource for all professionals, researchers, educators, and students dedicated to advancing women's health.
