Description and Table of Contents

Description

This accessible book describes with clarity and sensitivity the possible approaches to assessment, treatment, monitoring and evaluation of care. The text follows a logical sequence and includes quotes and drawings from children, diagrams and useful text summaries. Emphasis throughout is on the child's perspective. For example, their views on different types of enuresis alarm treatment are recorded - (a form of 'consumer' acceptability testing). The child's role in treatment has until recently been neglected, with only the clinician's and parents' views being seriously considered. Recent work has demonstrated that the child's contribution is essential in designing effective intervention. Although firmly rooted in clinical practice the text is guided by research findings and appropriate references are provided. Anyone whose work involves children will find this a handy and sympathetic little book.
