By A Customer

This review is from: Protecting the Emotional Development of the Ill Child: The Essence of the Child Life Profession (Hardcover)

This book provides a great look at the child life profession. Much of it consists of case studies of interns written in a journal-style format. If you are interested in Child Life, this book is worth getting your hands on--You get a look into the thoughts, mistakes, and rewards of a child life specialist.

This review is from: Protecting the Emotional Development of the Ill Child: The Essence of the Child Life Profession (Hardcover)

This work is a legacy to a great college professor whose dedication to hospitalized children and Child Life workers inspired the caring observations documented in the book. Anyone who has known an ill child or worked in hospitals will benefit from reading the insights gained through compassionate hands-on experiences like those found in these pages. Give this book to a pediatrician or pediatric nurse in hope that more hospitals advocate for Child Life programs.
