"I just wish I had armfuls of time." These are the words of a four
year old facing a life-threatening illness. This text portrays the
psychological experience of such children, who are irreversibly
changed from the moment of diagnosis. Barbara Sourkes is a
psychologist who specializes in psychotherapy with children who
have cancer and other serious diseases. In the account, she
describes how she works with these children, using drawings, soft
toys and dolls, stories and real medical instruments to allow them
to communicate their experience of the illness, the treatment they
undergo, their relationship with their families, and their feelings
of grief and loss in coming to terms with the prospect of death.
Making use of the words of children, offering interpretations and
practical advice, this is a book that should be useful reading for
those concerned with the care of terminally ill children.
