Addresses the needs of parents of children who experience medical
trauma - negative experiences in the healthcare system that may
cause resistance among children to even going for routine care.
Afraid of the Doctor is the first book written for parents with the
primary goal of equipping them with the knowledge and skills to
support their children through medical challenges on a day-to-day
basis, and specifically with medical trauma-experiences in
healthcare that can profoundly affect a child's response and
willingness to even go to the doctor. The challenge of medical
trauma is often under-recognized and overlooked in the healthcare
system, leaving parents to learn about it and manage it on their
own. When parents understand medical trauma and learn strategies to
reduce and even prevent it, they become empowered to better care
for their child's emotional and physical health. Afraid of the
Doctor integrates character stories throughout the book to
illustrate the signs and symptoms of medical trauma and the roles
parents and caregivers play in supporting their child through
medical challenges. Readers will find twelve distinct strategies
they can implement to help prevent and reduce medical trauma and
otherwise support their child while facing medical interventions or
a chronic condition. These strategies are illustrated through
anecdotes, step-by-step guides, examples, and research evidence.
With compassion and empathy, Meghan Marsac and Melissa Hogan offer
parents the tools they need to choose the strategies that will work
best for their children and their families, and how to modify them
to address their unique situations. In addition to addressing the
traumas that children may face, the authors carefully discuss the
types of trauma that a parent may experience as they care for a
child with a medical condition, equipping them with tools to
recognize and address their own trauma experience related to their
child's medical care.
