About this book
In the remaining chapters, the eight chronic diseases are evaluated in terms of five major issues. First, the latest trends in complications associated with each chronic condition are explored.Second, the impact of each disease on disability and psychosocial development of children and adolescents are analyzed. Third, recent research findings on diagnosis,treatment, and rehabilitation strategies are discussed. Fourth, new trends in patient education and self-management are presented. Fifth, each chapter will assess the role of family, peers, schools, and other organizations in helping children and adolescents cope with their chronic disorders. Dr. Mark L. Goldstein, a clinical psychologist, reviews the literature and uses composite case studies from his practice to illustrate the impact of these trends on how children and adolescents manage chronic disease. The information in this book will be relevant to a wide range of professionals and students in the fields of pediatrics, medicine, nursing, public health, mental health, social work,education, health administration, health policy, and social sciences.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book reviews chronic disorders, assorted chromosomal abnormalities, and general issues related to chronic disorders in children. … It is more likely to appeal to parents whose children have these disorders and to those more involved in the ancillary services needed by these patients. … the brevity and concise nature of this book’s presentation offer a good introduction to the topics for those looking for the basics.” (Russell W. Steele, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2013)
