Abstract
volution des pratiques médicales inclut dorénavant le développement des soins palliatifs pédiatriques. En effet, la spécificité de la prise en charge des enfants et des adolescents vivant avec une pathologie pouvant menacer leur vie a été démontrée grâce à l'expertise et au travail de réflexion entrepris et soutenu par des intervenants spécialisés, autant en Amérique du Nord qu'en Europe.
La recherche dans ce domaine soulève certaines problématiques particulières, à la fois sur les plans médical, psychologique, éthique, émotionnel, relationnel et spirituel. En regroupant et en explorant plusieurs d'entre elles - contexte de périnatalité ou de handicap, gestion de la douleur, poursuite de la scolarité, rôle du pédiatre et de l'infirmière, souffrance des membres de la famille et des soignants, décès à l'urgence, impacts des décisions concernant l'alimentation, les niveaux de soins et la non-réanimation, possible conflit opposant famille et équipe de soins, importance du suivi de deuil...-, ce livre contribue à donner à chaque jeune patient un encadrement global et adéquat visant la meilleure qualité de vie possible dans le respect de son développement. Référence essentielle, il témoigne de la complexité des gestes et des décisions des soignants qui, ne pouvant plus guérir la maladie, sont appelés à soulager tous les malaises du petit malade et de sa famille, y comprix ceux de l'âme.

Along with suggestions for making laughter and mindfulness part of your daily self-care routine, it offers guidance for choosing the right therapist for your family, should extra support be needed. Every family's journey with chronic illness is unique, but you don't have to go it alone.

Abstract
Youth with chronic illnesses face challenges that may prove disruptive to physical, psychological, and social development. Based on extensive research and clinical expertise, Children's Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP) is an interdisciplinary cognitive behavioral and family systems-based treatment program designed to maximize the independent functioning of teens with chronic illness.
This Clinician Guide offers a detailed outline for implementing this manualized intervention and provides clear guidance as to the philosophy, pragmatics, and art of working with challenging pediatric conditions. Designed to accompany the CHIRP Teen and Family Workbook, this book addresses specific assessment measures and tools needed to establish a collaborative treatment team approach that incorporates the skills of the CHIRP clinician, primary and specialty care providers, and roles of other healthcare (physical therapists, occupational therapists, etc.) and educational professionals critical to the successful management and treatment of these youth.

Abstract
Comfort, understanding, and advice for those who are suffering?and those who care for them.
Chronic illness creates many challenges, from career crises and relationship issues to struggles with self-blame, personal identity, and isolation. Beloved author Toni Bernhard addresses these challenges and many more, using practical examples to illustrate how mindfulness, equanimity, and compassion can help readers make peace with a life turned upside down.
In her characteristic conversational style, Bernhard shows how to cope and make the most of life despite the challenges of chronic illness. Benefit from:
? Mindfulness exercises to mitigate physical and emotional pain
? Concrete advice for negotiating the everyday hurdles of medical appointments, household chores, and social obligations
? Tools for navigating the strains illness can place on relationships
Several chapters are directed toward family and friends of the chronically ill, helping them to understand what their loved one is going through and how they can help.
Humorous and empathetic, Bernhard shares her own struggles and setbacks with unflinching honesty, offering invaluable support in the search to find peace and well-being.

Abstract
Dans le cadre de sa pratique comme psychologue et neuropsychologue, Benoît Hammarrenger rencontre souvent des parents qui souhaitent améliorer leurs relations avec leurs enfants et leurs adolescents. Ceux-ci lui racontent alors toutes sortes de situations marquées par des crises, de l'opposition, de la tristesse, de l'anxiété ou de la colère, mais aussi par leur propre sentiment d'impuissance en regard de la distance qu'ils voient s'installer entre les membres de la famille. Or, au fil des ans, Benoît a observé qu'une constante se dégage de toutes les situations de détresse familiale. Cette constante, c'est le besoin de cultiver une meilleure communication, c'est-à-dire une communication profonde et authentique, au-delà des mots, là où se jouent les vrais enjeux. Selon lui, il existe sept clés essentielles à l'établissement d'une communication saine et enrichissante dans la famille :
- Être à l'écoute des émotions des jeunes et se placer en synchronie avec eux
- Laisser une place à la colère en montrant qu'il s'agit d'une émotion légitime
- Cultiver l'empathie et l'esprit d'équipe entre frères et soeurs
- Installer une autorité parentale légitime, que les enfants auront envie de suivre
- Aider les jeunes à mieux connaître leurs parents pour consolider leur lien avec eux
- Composer avec les enjeux spécifiques de l'adolescence
- Tenter de comprendre ce que le jeune vit et cherche vraiment à exprimer, alors que ses habiletés de communication sont encore en construction.
Dans ce nouveau livre accessible et teinté d'humour, Benoît aide les parents à faire alliance avec leur jeune, à créer un climat sain dans la famille... et il en profite pour leur rappeler d'arrêter de parler de bière lorsque leur jeune, lui, parle d'ours

Abstract
L'objectif de ce livre est de décrire la dyslexie à la lumière des plus récentes découvertes scientifiques, tout en gardant à l'esprit qu'il s'agit d'abord et avant tout d'un diagnostic qui est fait grâce à la mise en évidence de problèmes spécifiques par des spécialistes. Si l'école et les enseignants sont en première ligne pour détecter des problèmes de lecture, la dyslexie dépasse largement le simple cadre scolaire et son évaluation. Son traitement nécessite la colla­boration d'intervenants du milieu de la santé et de la réadaptation qui doivent travailler ensemble pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats possible. Les contraintes budgétaires qui sévissent aussi bien dans le monde de l'éducation que dans celui de la santé ont conduit beaucoup de parents à se tourner vers des ressources privées ou d'autres thérapies pour essayer d'apporter le soutien nécessaire à leur enfant dyslexique. Ces différentes approches sont abordées ici en tenant compte de leur caractère scientifique; il ne s'agit donc pas d'une revue exhaustive de tout ce qui peut être entrepris par des personnes qui cherchent désespérément une solution miracle. Car il n'y a pas de miracle dans le traitement de la dyslexie: seulement beaucoup de travail, des efforts soutenus et bien orientés, en plus de la compréhension de la famille et de l'école.
À la fin de ce livre figure un fascicule spécifiquement réalisé pour être lu par un élève dyslexique. En effet, bien des parents et même des enseignants ont du mal à expliquer clairement à un enfant ce qu'est la dyslexie. Grâce à l'histoire que nous raconte Michael, un élève de niveau primaire pourra lui-même comprendre ses difficultés, alors que la page des parents permettra à ceux-ci de se documenter sur tel ou tel point précis et, au besoin, de répondre dans leurs mots aux questions de l'enfant.

Abstract
Qui n'a jamais connu une personne endeuillée par le suicide d'un proche ? C'est malheureusement un geste extrême de plus en plus fréquent. Il s'agit d'un acte incompréhensible que l'on doit tout de même accepter afin de passer à autre chose. Mais comment accepter cette absence qui déchire, comment vivre ce deuil, jour après jour, semaine après semaine ? Comment se relever alors que la vie continue, alors que le courant de la vie nous amène déjà ailleurs.
« Malgré l'absence immensément douloureuse, malgré le vide sans nom, j'ai dû accepter l'inacceptable, le suicide de mon fils cadet, raconte Odette Bisson. Pour me reconstruire, il aura fallu que je garde espoir en la vie. Vivre le moment présent m'a permis d'envisager la possibilité d'un avenir. Si chaque livre a sa mission, la mission du mien aura été de tendre la main et de permettre à d'autres endeuillés du suicide de briser le tabou qui entoure leur désespoir. »
Écrivaine, photographe, peintre à ses heures et historienne de l'art, Odette Bisson aime exprimer librement ses émotions et ses passions. Sa créativité, son empathie spontanée et son humour lui permettent de jeter un regard original sur les affres et les aléas de la vie et sur le suicide de son fils cadet.

Adaptée aux besoins des jeunes, la pratique du yoga les aide à prendre conscience de leur corps et à en libérer les tensions, à éveiller leur esprit, à stimuler leur imagination et à favoriser leur relaxation. Destiné aux enfants de 6 à 14 ans, cet ouvrage propose des postures, des exercices de respiration et de relaxation, dans une approche ludique qui leur permettra d'intégrer la pratique du yoga en toute simplicité.

Coping with Chronic Illness-Children
Abstract
This book tells true and poignant stories from both sides of the physician-patient/parent relationship and provides a unique glimpse into how parents and physicians think, feel, and interact. The stories are grouped under four sections: Hope, Compassion, Communication, and Trust.
Each section includes stories contributed by parents from all across the United States and by pediatricians practicing at many of the best children's hospitals throughout the country. The parents tell of interactions with physicians that had a significant impact on them and their child and offer context and insight that promote empathy and reflection. The physicians tell of interactions with patients and families that served as learning moments in their career and promote the humanization of medicine and show there is more to a physician beyond their scientific knowledge and white coat.
The stories are edited by Barry P. Markovitz - a pediatrician specializing in critical care medicine who has been in practice for more than 20 years and by Ann F. Schrooten - the parent of a child born with a chronic complex condition who has more than 15 years of experience interacting with pediatric subspecialists and other healthcare professionals who cared for her son. The editors have written commentaries to the stories to provide an independent perspective on the events and messages conveyed and to encourage reflection, inquiry, and discussion.
In addition to being a valuable resource for pediatricians, pediatric subspecialists, nurses and other healthcare professionals, the book will also appeal to families of children living with complex medical conditions because it shares physician encounters and behaviors many have experienced in the care of their own children. By giving a voice to both parents and physicians, the goal is to create a bridge to better understanding that can improve communication, minimize conflicts, and foster trust and compassion among physicians, patients, and families.

Abstract
Every parent wants the same thing: for their child to enjoy a long and fulfilling life. But what happens when things don't go according to plan? What happens when parents have to become advocates for their child's healthcare needs? Who decides what is in a child's 'best interests'?
Stephanie Nimmo faced these questions first-hand when her daughter, Daisy, was diagnosed with a life-limiting condition as a baby. Seen through the lens of Stephanie's own experiences, this sensitive book delves into the complex world of medical ethics and pediatric palliative care. From recognizing tipping points to the importance of building relationships with palliative care teams well before crisis, this book explores how medical professionals can better support families throughout their child's care.
Interviews with clinicians and snapshots from the lives of patients' families provide insight into the realities of life on both sides of the hospital bed. Compassionate explanations of the conflicting pressures in the hospital system foster understanding and help medical professionals and families work together.

Abstract
"Drawing on her own deeply personal experiences, Ania Bula explores what it is like to live with unseen chronic disabilities. She paints a vibrant picture of what it is like to be diagnosed with two life-long debilitating conditions as a young adult and relates the challenges and frustrations of dealing with predatory alternative medicine practitioners, arrogant doctors, indifferent bureaucracies, and well-meaning friends and family who always seem to say either the wrong thing-or nothing at all. As she discovered, suddenly everyone's aunt is a health expert and everyone's fad diet a cure. Making matters worse, her physical torment quickly translated into mental stresses. Relationships became strained, while others, including all-important romantic ones, never had a chance to start at all. Wading through a constant stream of ignorance and lies, in a desperate attempt to find peace, to stop the pain, and to return to a more normal life, she submits to being stuffed with powders and magic potions, poked and prodded, and even "faith healed." With honesty and humor, she shares her journey of pain, suffering, and, ultimately, coping, both to help others gain some understanding about what it is like to live with chronic illness-and to help those who might similarly suffer feel less alone, so that they too might start living again.
"Drawing on the author's personal experiences with her own physical and mental health struggles, the book explores what it is like to live with chronic disabilities as a young adult"-- Provided by publisher

For those who find themselves at the intersection of lifetime love and overwhelming obligation, the right path is often painful and difficult to find. When illness invades the couple relationship, partners ask themselves and each other some really hard questions: "What do I want to do for this person whom I have loved for many years?" "How much of my life do I give up to take care of my beloved?" "How do I sit by my beloved's side and watch her suffer?" While writing In Sickness as in Health, authors Barbara Kivowitz and Roanne Weisman learned through interviews with many couples, as well as with medical, spiritual, legal, rehabilitation and psychological experts, that couples find their own ways to deal with illnesses and catastrophic injuries.

Abstract
"'Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!' Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best). To Peter Fernando's credit, he makes that statement, and no such impulse arises. We believe him because he's been there himself and because he backs up the statements with his own real experiences and with real wisdom from the Buddhist teachings. Fernando starts by defusing the pernicious belief that anyone is somehow responsible for their illness: you're not "wrong" for being sick. Then, having gotten past self-blame, one can begin to learn self-kindness. From there, one moves to mindfulness practices and cultivating body awareness?even if body awareness is distasteful when the body isn't behaving the way you like. Further topics include getting intimate with dark emotions (fear, despair, the scary future, frustration, grief, etc.), learning equanimity (rejoicing in the good fortune of those who don't share your suffering), cultivating healthy relationships in the midst of everything, and practical advice for living with pain. Each chapter comes with one or more practices or guided meditations for putting the teachings into practice"--from publisher.
