These important new essays show how changing patterns of health and disease have responded to and shaped notions of childhood and adolescence as life stages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUntil the early 20th century, life-threatening illnesses were a sinister presence in the lives of children of all social classes. Today, many diseases and threats to child health have been eliminated or alleviated. Yet critical problems remain. New threats such as AIDS and violence take a steady toll. Child health remains an active concern for all families. Despite the development of health care policies, social welfare policies, and effective medication, the home remains--as it was in the Colonial period--the most critical site of care. Parents are still central to the preservation of children's health. This work imposes a holistic view of this experience for children and families. By examining the child's perspective of illness, the authors make an important contribution to the understanding of illness as part of the developmental process of growing up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Golden, Richard Meckel, Heather Munro Prescott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313330417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313330414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.28h x 7.00w x 0.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 395\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 421","brand":"Janet Golden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119575789823,"sku":"9780313330414","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc00d737-d48b-4ab0-8877-b0b976fe54fc.jpg?v=1687409989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/children-and-youth-in-sickness-janet-golden-9780313330414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
