  This text asserts the notion that children are not mini-adults. In dealing with everyday and serious problems of childhood illness, surgeons and physicians should integrate their knowledge and learn to treat the whole rapidly developing child, who is susceptible to physical, emotional and environmental factors. This textbook combines the classical teaching of diagnosis and management of disease with this integrated approach to treatment. The book is topic-oriented, with each section including psychological and psychiatric factors as well as practical clinical and surgical procedures. It is a suitable text for senior undergarduates, junior paediatricians, senior house officers, candidates for MRCP and Diploma of Child Health, and it should be of use also to consultant paediatricians and other hospital clinicians.
