Beskrivning

This text presents a hypothesis-testing framework for conceptualizing pain problems in children to guide the practitioner through the process of developing an individualized pain assessment and treatment plan. While other texts mainly stress scholarly reviews of the literature, this book explains how one can integrate the existing literature into an evaluation and treatment plan specific to the individual child. The book is illustrated with extensive case examples and research findings, structured worksheets, and detailed practical suggestions.
