This book provides a guide to the
complexities of medical care through adolescence and into adulthood. The
principles of transition, the management of patients and parents, and
developmentally appropriate adolescent health care are discussed and
evaluated. The academic importance of understanding long-term outcomes
of treatments and diseases that began in childhood is also covered.
This
book aims to help readers build a multidisciplinary transition team and
details the barriers encountered in this process and the ways to
overcome them.
