A Clinician's Guide to Helping Children Cope and Cooperate with Medical Care

pokkari
Keith J. Slifer, a pediatric psychologist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explores how adults can help children cope with routine and traumatic medical care. He draws on practice and research to help health care practitioners provide better care for children with chronic conditions and children undergoing rehabilitation after traumatic injury or surgery. By better understanding the behavior, emotions, and developmental challenges of children, health care professionals in practice and in training can solve a range of problems, from getting a distressed child to cooperate with a physical examination or diagnostic test, to teaching a child to adhere to medical self-care. More than 9 million children in the United States regularly visit health care professionals for treatment of chronic or recurrent health conditions. These children experience multiple doctors' visits, trips to the emergency department, hospital admissions, anesthesia, surgery, medications, needle sticks, wound cleaning, seizures, nausea, vomiting, pain, and fear. While most of these children are developing typically in terms of their intellectual and cognitive functioning, many children with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities also require frequent medical care, and as chronic health conditions increase, so do the chances of having developmental, learning, emotional, and behavioral problems. A Clinician's Guide to Helping Children Cope and Cooperate with Medical Care will benefit health care professionals and children as practitioners aim both to improve medical care and to prevent the children's behavior from disrupting clinics and distressing and frustrating health care workers and family caregivers. This book is for pediatric psychologists, pediatricians, family medicine practitioners, physician's assistants, nurse specialists, pediatric subspecialists, and students in these fields - and for family members dedicated to helping their children cope with medical procedures and to getting the best possible medical care.
In this book, you will travel through the eyes of a young man who volunteers at an orphanage for HIV positive children in Africa called Nyumbani. This is a true story where love and faith collide, where the magic of human survival happens everyday, and where hope is always given a second chance.

Proposes a nonanthropocentric reassessment of key themes and approaches in environmental philosophyIn A World Not Made for Us, Keith R. Peterson provides a broad reassessment of the field of environmental philosophy, taking a fresh and critical look at three classical problems of environmentalism: the intrinsic value of nature, the need for an ecological worldview, and a new conception of the place of humankind in nature. He makes the case that a genuinely critical environmental philosophy must adopt an ecological materialist conception of the human, a pluralistic value theory that emphasizes the need for value prioritization, and a stratified categorial ontology that affirms the basic principle of human asymmetrical dependence on more-than-human nature. Integrating environmental ethics with the latest work in political ecology, Peterson argues it is important to understand that the world is not made for us, and that coming to terms with this fact is a condition for survival in future human and more-than-human communities of liberation and solidarity.

A natural history Of scripture

In this unique look at biblical history, Dr. Adkins argues that the natural forces driving Darwinian evolution are just as clearly visible in the story of biblical origin and formation. Seen through the lens of evolutionary biology, the full story of biblical history makes a new and exciting kind of sense. The result is a fresh way to read the Bible, giving a greater appreciation for the genius of the world's most celebrated literary masterpiece.Pastor Adkins has been teaching biblical criticism to a receptive lay audience for over twenty-seven years. With degrees in geology and theology, he presents the information about how the Bible evolved, balanced with a transformational passion for God's Word. Rather than becoming disillusioned about the human part of biblical formation, his book brings the reader to an understanding of the evolution of scripture that also edifies faith.
