Product reviews for A Child in Pain

This is an exceptional book. From the initial flick through to a more thorough reading I was really impressed by this text. It is heavily referenced and contains up to date material ranging from the straight-forward acute pain scenarios to the more complex and poorly understood persistent pains. It is extremely well written and so even complex concepts are communicated clearly and can be easily understood. It is comprehensive, covering behavioural, emotional and physical responses to pain and containing loads of great practical tips for helping children cope with pain. I have never encountered a book before that covers such a breadth of material in such a user-friendly and clinically useful way. I am going to make this book highly recommended for our child Field of Practice nurses and I will also be encouraging students from other branches to read it.
