Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This book explores the reasons behind nonadherence in children and ways to increase adherence. This second edition aims to update the literature and provide an overview of this important topic. It is appropriate for anyone working clinically with a pediatric population, including physicians and psychologists, and it is written at an accessible level for clinicians and students in these fields. ... It covers all major aspects without shortchanging any particular area." (Christopher J. Graver, Doody's Review Service, April, 2010)

"Part of the Series Issues in Clinical Child Psychology, this volume analyses the different factors that influence the pediatric patient, the parents, peers and others to adhere to treatment in children and especially teen-agers. This book also discusses strategies to improve adherence and methods to evaluate adherence. ... Not only for psychologists." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 7 (3), March-April, 2010)
