Description: Rochelle Caplan and Brenda Bursch provides readers with a comprehensive framework to understand how 5-10 year old children use language to formulate and communicate their thoughts. The book then guides the reader in how to effectively elicit information about sensitive and stressful topics from young children, such as their emotions, difficulties, problems, worries, and illness. Seventeen exquisitely written chapters that include twelve developmental guidelines, techniques, case examples, and illustrative dialogues provide the reader with the tools needed to address specific communication challenges involved in speaking with young children who have pain, medical trauma, terminal illness, or specific disorders like epilepsy. This book is useful for pediatric professionals who strive to acquire exceptional clinical interviewing skills and who no longer wish to hear children say, "When are we done?" The wide range of medical and non-medical professionals who work with young ill children, such as pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, social workers, nurses, child life specialists, as well as interested parents will use this book as a reference guide. Readership: This book is intended for the wide range of medical professionals who work with children aged 5-10 years, including pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, social workers, nurses, and child life specialists. Additionally, lawyers, teachers, and police will find this book helpful. Important audiences include trainees and students for these professions, as well as parents.
