with a little help and support. The story is also a great starting
point for explaining depression to all children, especially those
who may have a parent or close family member with depression. With
an essential guide for parents and carers by clinical paediatric
psychologists, Dr Melinda Edwards MBE and Linda Bayliss, this book

affected by, depression, including social workers, psychologists,
psychiatrists, counsellors, arts therapists, pastoral care workers
and school staff, as well as parents and carers.

support within health, social services and education. It discusses
issues such as the impact of diagnosis and the experiences of
children and their families in managing their medical condition and
treatment. Strategies to support children and help them to cope
with medical conditions are demonstrated, including cognitive
behavioural and systemic approaches, and techniques such as
relaxation and motivational interviewing. Case examples from
clinical practice are given to illustrate the application of
psychological ideas and frameworks to a variety of medical
conditions and psychological difficulties. The book also includes a
comprehensive resources section of where to look for further
information. This will be an essential book for all professionals
working with children with medical conditions, including
