Mental Health Practice in a Physical Health Setting

In: Families in society: the journal of contemporary human services, Band 63, Heft 3, S. 147-154

Abstract

A mental health program in a large pediatric cancer center serves as a model for providing services to families facing the chronic illness of a child. Case examples illustrate how social workers counsel these families regarding problems unrelated to the disease as well as mediating the crises posed by the illness.
