Over the last several decades, the remarkable success of science
and medical technology has allowed many children with chronic
illness and handicapping conditions to live longer and healthier
lives. But this suc cess is not without toll. The human cost of
chronic illness or a handicap ping condition can be enormous for
the child and the family. For the family, there is often the
stressful daily burden of care, fatigue, marital stress, low family
morale, financial burdens, and reduced career mobili ty. For the
child, there are often arduous and painful treatment regimes,
frequent school absences, low energy periods, and uncertainties
with respect to future education and vocation. The course of many
diseases is unpredictable, and the very fact of chronicity implies
ongoing coping problems for the family and the child. The impact of
a chronic illness or handicapping condition on a family system is
usually more disintegrative than integrative, disrupting the lives
of all family members and exacerbating the developmental risks to
the child. It is not surprising that a recent comprehensive study
for establish ing public policies for children with chronic illness
at Vanderbilt Univer sity has called attention to these factors and
produced, as a primary recommendation, increased attention to the
psychological impact of dis ease on the family and the child. In
this context there is an important need for adequate assessment of
psychological and behavioral problems in these children to plan for
appropriate services."
