Summary
This book begins with an introduction to the role of mental health clinicians in working with children and adolescents with presenting concerns associated with medical needs. Readers will first explore the foundational principles and theoretical underpinnings of pediatric psychological care. Following a review of the current research on these aforementioned topics, the reader will then be provided with anecdotal “golden nuggets” that provide practical tips and strategies for clinicians new to working with pediatric medical conditions, as well as an emphasis on common ethical dilemmas that may arise in this context. Readers subsequently will be provided with a sample intake template to help guide the types of questions and information that should be solicited for assistance in creating holistic treatment plans and case conceptualizations.
