- Summary:
- For health care professionals caring for children and adolescents with cancer, Kreitler (psychological sciences, Tel-Aviv U., and social welfare and health sciences, U. of Haifa, Israel) et al. bring together a group of pediatric oncologists and psychologists/psycho-oncologists from the US, Israel, Europe, and New Zealand who focus on the psychosocial aspects of cancer treatment and children's quality of life. In 22 chapters, they address active treatment, including comprehensive and family-centered psychosocial care, pain, the psychiatric impact of childhood cancer, the psychosocial effects of hematopoietic cell transplantation and radiotherapy, communicating with children, cognitive behavioral interventions, education, complementary and alternative medicine, art and other therapies, and palliative care; survivorship; death; and additional considerations. This edition has updated 16 chapters and adds new chapters on psychopharmacology, bereavement, ethical considerations, international collaborations, and addressing the emotional needs of children whose parents have cancer. It includes a new appendix that details research tools in pediatric psycho-oncology. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
