A Child in Pain: What Health Professionals Can Do to Help

Unlike so many of the works on this topic, this book provides specific language that will help children manage the full spectrum of the pain experience, both on a sensory and an emotional level. The volume spells out clearly what the professional, the child, and the team together can do to ease the pain itself and uncover the resources to support management and recovery. Indispensable for the range of caregivers, whether a parent, nurse, or psychotherapist, the book explores the necessary knowledge for a sensitive, effective response repertoire that can be applied at home, in the medical office, or the hospital.
