Since 1978, the editors have collaborated on several research
projects and spent many hours at conventions discussing research,
graduate education, and patient care. The idea for this volume
arose when we both concluded that the area of behavioral pediatrics
needed a "how to" book. Several important scholarly re views had
recently appeared. They presented excellent summary information
concerning the general assumptions and theories underlying the area
of behav ioral medicine with children. But these volumes devote
very little attention to the application of clinical methods. What
was needed, we thought, was a book that would allow graduate
students and practicing clinicians the opportunity to peer into the
minds of eminent practitioners and understand their thinking. Thus
the book was conceived. Editing books represents a special kind of
challenge. One has to "sell" an idea to a group of distinguished
colleagues. They have to believe enough in that idea to devote the
considerable time and effort necessary to bring thought into
reality. In this case, there were two ideas we tried to sell to our
colleagues."
