Description

This book examines children and young people s attempts to participate in conversations about their own treatment throughout uncertain cancer trajectories, including the events leading up to diagnosis, treatment, remission, relapse, and cure or death. * Clearly and compellingly written, Clemente relies on a new multi-layered method to identify six cancer communication strategies * Illustrates that communication is central to how children, parents, and healthcare professionals constitute, influence, and make sense of the social worlds they inhabit or that they want to inhabit * Provides ethnographic case studies of childhood cancer patients in Spain, using children s own words * Examines the challenges of how to talk to and how to encourage patients involvement in treatment discussions * In his critique of the telling versus not telling debates, Clemente argues that communication should be adjusted to the children s own needs, and that children s own questions can indicate how much or little they want to be involved Uncertain Futures is the winner of the 15th Annual Modest Reixach Prize
