An Interdisciplinary Therapy Manual
This manual is a masterful, compelling, and satisfying read for all professionals in children’s pain management. Going beyond the biomedical model, it provides a comprehensive appreciation of the physiology, psychology, pharmacology and familial/social aspects of common paediatric chronic pain syndromes. It emphasizes the broad impact of pain on the lives of children and teens, as well as the complicated process of recovery. Drs. Dobe and Zernikow achieve this by bringing us into the functioning of their inpatient treatment unit in Germany for children and teens with chronic pain.
