A Child in Pain: How to Help What to Do
By Leora Kuttner
Unlike so many of the works on the topic, this book provides specific
language that will help children manage the full spectrum of the pain
experience, both on a sensory and an emotional level. The volume spells out
clearly what the professional, the child, and the team together can do to ease
the pain itself and uncover the resources to support management and recovery.
There are important discussions on:
- Responding to a Child’s pain
- Medications to Relieve Pain
- Visiting the Doctor
- Preparation for the Hospital
- Pain Management at Home
- Visiting the Dentist
- And More
Indispensable for the range of caregivers, whether a parent, nurse, or
psychotherapist, the book explores the necessary knowledge for a sensitive,
effective response repertoire that can be applied at home, in the medical
office, or the hospital.
