Koocher, PhD, Dean and Professor, School for Health Studies, Simmons College, Boston; 2006 President, American Psychological Association \"This is an absolutely outstanding book....One of the major strengths of the book is its integration of key assessment and management issues across a variety of chronic illnesses that affect children and adolescents, rather than a disease-specific approach that could mask many of the similarities across conditions. Attention to multicultural issues is another strength that also distinguishes this volume from others in the field. Overall, this book is likely to be an indispensable resource for today's child health professionals.\" Annette M.
