About this book
Reviews
“This book is designed to help practitioners assess, anticipate, and respond to the emotional issues that arise in children and adolescents being treated for cancer. … The audience includes all individuals involved in the care of children or adolescents undergoing treatment for cancer … . There are not many books that encompass the breadth of psychosocial care in pediatric oncology as this one does. This is a great addition to any pediatric oncology practitioner’s library.” (Melissa Mason, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
