This book illustrates why a holistic approach is important in Pediatric  Palliative Care (PPC). Readers will learn this approach has a  horizontal   axis, featuring the patients  mental and physical needs, as well as their  environments. It has also a  vertical axis : the evolutive changes of the  patients throughout their development and their illness, their aspirations  and fears. An evolutive (or dynamic) approach is mandatory. Each child/parent  has a different experience of illness and a different path to recovery that  is influenced by their age, gender, culture, but also by the state of their  grief. To take care of them, we need to know the state of the subjects  we are dealing with throughout their evolution in age (children) and in  sorrow (both children and parents). Jung s and Piaget  schemes will be  of support. This book also helps caregivers to know what ethics is.
