Very Good Condition - Light rubbing to covers and edges, slight cover curl.

Paediatric pain specialist Lonnie K. Zeltzer and writer Christina Blackett Schlank explain an approach to helping children and adolescents whose lives are disrupted by persistent pain. Written for parents, the book examines the relationship between physical symptoms, the nervous system, emotions and everyday activity. It discusses medical treatment alongside complementary techniques, relaxation and the role families can play in supporting a child's return to ordinary routines. The authors also address parents' anxiety and guilt, recognising that chronic pain affects the whole household. Their guide aims to make the subject more understandable and give families a framework for discussing pain, function and wellbeing with the professionals involved in a child's care.
