Summary

This pediatric primary care text takes a family centered approach, examining issues from the perspective of the child and the caregiver. Unlike most primary care texts, it blends traditional health care with complementary therapies. Throughout, it identifies needs based on culture and ethnicity and lists community resources-including websites--where families can obtain more information or help. Features include: Case Studies, Clinical Pearls, and Clinical Warnings.
