Last, Bob F.; Grootenhuis, Martha A.
Patient Education and Counseling, v33 n2 p169-79 Feb 1998
Most children and parents use strategies that protect them from psychopathology in coping with cancer. Studies involving children with cancer, their parents, their perceptions, emotions, and coping strategies are reviewed. A psychosocial support model is proposed which may be helpful when support is needed with problems of adjustment. (Author/EMK)
