Description:

Roger Bradford examines the psychological challenges that chronic childhood disease presents to families, carers and the children themselves. He explores how they cope with these challenges and considers how the care system can be improved.

Synopsis:

Chronic childhood disease brings psychological challenges for families and carers as well as the children. Roger Bradford explores how they cope with these challenges, the psychological and social factors that influence outcomes and the ways in which the delivery of services can be improved to promote adjustment. Drawing on concepts from health psychology and family therapy, the author proposes a multi-level model of care which takes into account the child, the family and the wider care system and how they interrelate and influence each other.
