From the reviews:"The book is a comprehensive and practical guide to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic pain conditions in children. ... Each chapter is well organized and ends with useful summaries of take-home points. ... Pain in Children does an excellent job of highlighting the enormous effect pain can have on the child and the family. It emphasizes the pivotal role pediatricians and other primary care clinicians play in identifying, diagnosing, and managing pediatric pain." (Cleo K. Hardin, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 301 (2), January, 2009)
