Over recent decades, tremendous advances in the prevention, medical treatment, and quality of life issues in children and adolescents surviving cancer have spawned a host of research on pediatric psychosocial oncology. This important volume fulfills the clear need for an up-to-date, comprehensive handbook for practitioners that delineates the most recent research in the field--the first of its kind in over a decade. Over 60 renowned authors have been assembled to provide a thorough presentation of the state-of-the art research and literature, with topics including: -Neuropsychological effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy -Bone marrow transplantation -Important issues about quality of life during and following treatment -Collaborative research among child-focused psychologists -Standards of psychological care for children and adolescents -Stress and coping in the pediatric cancer experience -The role of family and peer relationships The Comprehensive Handbook of Childhood Cancer and Sickle Cell Disease represents both multidisciplinary and international efforts, an alliance between physicians and parents, and a combination of research and service. With a wealth of information of great interest to patients and their families, this volume will also be a welcome resource to the psychologists, psychiatrists, pediatricians, oncologists, nurses, and social workers who confront these issues as they help children and their families through the treatment, recovery, and grieving processes.

Recurrent painful vaso-occlusive crises often represent sources of frustration and debilitation to those afflicted with sickle cell disease. We present two adolescents with sickle cell disease who have been able to gain control over the frequency and intensity of these crises by utilizing self-hypnosis. We feel that the utilization of similar technique(s) may allow many ill children and adolescents to obtain mastery over abnormal physiologic processes concomitant with their particular disease status.

Objective: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common red blood cell disorder that disrupts the lives of many African Americans and those of Middle Eastern heritage within the United States due to frequent pain. There is limited research quantifying biopsychosocial factors, specifically psychological characteristics, that influence pain in children and adolescents with SCD. The aim of this literature review was to identify psychological characteristics that are predictive or associated with pain in children and adolescents with SCD. Method: This review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Four databases, PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus, were searched using specific terms to address the aim of the review (SCD, pain, pediatrics and adolescents, and psychological characteristics). Results: The review identified a lack of consensus regarding the definitions and measurement of pain frequency and intensity. A variety of psychological characteristics were associated with pain including coping strategies, anxiety, depressive symptoms, catastrophizing, and stress. Overall, the study designs restricted the ability to fully identify psychological characteristics that predict pain. Conclusions: Health science researchers must strive for a deeper understanding about the presentation of SCD pain and psychological risk factors associated with increased pain to provide targeted screening and treatment.
