By Richard H. Thompson, Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin, and Gene Stanford, Children's Hospital, Buffalo, New York. With a Foreword by Jerriann Myers Wilson. Child life services include providing emotional support, structuring therapeutic play programs, psychologically preparing children for medical procedures, enhancing the hospital environment, and acting as the child's and parents' advocate. This book covers them all. It begins by describing the provision of these services in a typical case and by reviewing the relevant literature. The authors then discuss parents' needs and parent involvement, the hospital play program, and ways in which the hospital environment contributes to children's reactions. Equally thorough information is presented on the relationship of child life to other disciplines; supervision of volunteers, students and staff; and the development of a child life program. The text's balance of tools, techniques and guidelines makes it valuable not only to child life specialists, but also to nurses, occupational and recreational therapists, social workers, and other hospital personnel..

The poignant story of Forgotten Veterans is told by the principal character, a Vietnam veteran himself, who has a first-hand understanding of the horrors of combat and the challenges faced by young men and women trying to return to their civilian lives, jobs and families. Often, these veterans have no refuge other than the Veterans Affairs hospital and many will spend the rest of their days isolated from the life they once knew. Recreation therapists spend their careers trying to make the daily lives of the veteran patients as bearable as possible. Each patient makes a new, unforgettable impression on the hospital staff. No one reading these stories can help but be touched by the plight of these warriors who stood tall in defending their country and who, in their time of need, have frequently been pushed from the Nations attention. The Forgotten Veterans is a chronology of real events, simple by themselves, but put together in context by one who experienced hospitalized veterans problems first hand. This book forms a meaningful and timely testimony for the need to preserve Americas commitment to all of its veterans, particularly those whose lives have been wounded forever..
