Benson's bibliography is a valuable contribution to the study of the dying child and the sensitive issues that the family, medical staff, school personnel, and others must face when confronted with this challenge. Comprehensive annotations, some as lengthy as a full page of text, give the essence of the article and its intended use. . . . The appendixes are a wealth of practical information, with lists of children's books and AV material, support organizations, wish-granting organizations, and hospices. No other comparable bibliography exists on the subject. This excellent sourcebook is highly recommended. Choice
This annotated bibliography provides access to the literature for researchers, clinicians, students, parents, and others who care for terminally ill children and their families. It concentrates on the period 1960 through 1987, but also includes a small number of citations from earlier years. The bibliography covers more than 180 popular and professional journals in medicine, health, education, psychology, and social work. It also cites books and parts of books, conference reports, government documents, pamphlets, and doctoral dissertations.
