Like the ground-breaking first edition, Pediatric
Psycho-oncology, Second edition puts the child at the centre of
medical and psychological care. It broadens the focus beyond
treatment and cure to consider the quality of life of the child and
their family. Written by an international group of pediatric
oncologists and psychologists/psycho-oncologists brought together
by an expert editorial team, it focuses on the real-life practical
aspects of children undergoing treatment for cancer.
This edition has been restructured and opens with a major
section on Active treatment, which includes chapters addressing
quality of life, pain, psychosocial aspects of treatment and
interventions, art therapy and different fantasy-based techniques,
palliative care, communication and education, as well as a new
chapter on psychopharmacology. Shorter sections then discuss
survivorship and care of the dying child, including a new chapter
on bereavement. The final section comprises new chapters on
ethical considerations and on addressing the emotional needs of
children whose parents have cancer, as well as a case study on
international collaboration. An appendix provides a
comprehensive overview of tools for evaluation and assessment in
pediatric psychooncology.
This book is a highly practical resource that will be invaluable
for all health care professionals looking after children and
adolescents with cancer.
