Title: Children, Families and Chronic Disease
First published: December 26, 1996
Description: Chronic childhood disease brings psychological challenges for families and carers as well as the children. In Children, Families and Chronic Disease 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.

Emphasising the integration of theory and practice, Children, Families and Chronic Disease demonstrates the need to develop a multi-level approach to delivery of care which take into account the child, the family and the wider care system, with recognition of how they inter-relate and influence each other.
