Pressezitat
"The textbook reviews medical and mental illnesses in children ... . the author did cite current articles, and many of the intervention sections provided research evidence for specific interventions ... . this book may be useful to those with limited or no understanding of childhood physical and mental health impairments." (Linda C. Caterino, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (7), February, 2017)"Nabors has created a compendium of materials that can be used as either a classroom textbook or resource for practitioners, parents, school staff, or medical providers. Both undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on pediatric psychology and child/adolescent services would find this book easy to adapt. ... This book is a great start and contributes important and meaningful information, easily read and understood, for health educators from varied specialties. The benefits could be life saving!"
