Synopsis

Our present understanding of the psychosocial aspects of pain in children is reviewed in this monograph by leading scientists and practitioners. The contributions adopt a developmental perspective in introducing the conceptual and methodological tools required for understanding new work in the field. This volume offers a survey of recent advances in the area of paediatric pain and points to the directions in which clinical work and conceptualization are moving. "Children in Pain" argues that models of pain assessment, intervention techniques and research designs need to demonstrate an appreciation for developmental considerations in sophisticated terms. Topics explored include assessment of paediatric pain; coping and adaptation in children's pain; developmental issues among infants and toddlers, among preschool and school-age children and among adolescents; recurrent abdominal pain; burn injury and treatment; chronic and recurrent pain in haemophilia, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and sickle cell disease; developmental aspects of the biobehavioural treatment of migraine in childhood; and helping children cope with painful medical procedures. This monograph on developmental psychology, clinical psychology and physiological psychology is intended for developmental psychologists, clinical psychologists and paediatricians.
