Psychosocial Care of Children and Families in Hc Settings

Due to their ongoing growth and development, children, as opposed to aduls, require special consideration as they interact with the health care system. This is the first and only book to address the developmental and psychosocial issues of children across all health care settings, whether these settings be inpatient, outpatient, or community based. Written for the health care student and practitioner, it will provide information on what children have always needed -- nurturing, predictability, adequate stimulation, interaction, and a sense of control and mastery over their environment. This book includes information on outcomes, case studies, and is supplemented by an instructor's manual.
