This book explores the social conditions that promote pediatric resilience. It presents resilience as a set of complex interpersonal, institutional, and political relationships that affect young patients’ ability to “do well” in the face of medical adversity. Chapters analyze the impact of chronic or disabling conditions on children’s development, while highlighting effective interventions that promote family well-being. This book integrates research from psychology, social work, medical anthropology, child life specialty, palliative care, public health, and nursing to examine a wide variety of family, cultural, and medical contexts. Practical strategies for supporting children and families are discussed, from meaningful assessment and interventions to social policy and advocacy.
Featured topics include:
- Psychosocial factors influencing children with immune-related health conditions.
- Resilience and pediatric cancer survivorship within a cultural context.
- Promoting resilience in chronically ill children and their families during the transition to adolescence.
- Creating a context for resilience in medical settings.
- Promoting resilience through children’s health and social care policy.
Child and Adolescent Resilience Within Medical Contexts is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and other professionals, as well as graduate students in child and school psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, social work, pediatrics, medical anthropology, nursing, educational psychology and policy.

Carey De Michelis is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on the way adolescent patients make medical decisions- particularly in cases where the family’s cultural or religious beliefs conflict with medical recommendations. Located at the intersection of biomedical ethics, developmental psychology, and medical anthropology, Carey’s research explores the way adolescent autonomy intersects with medical authority, cultural identity and legal president in these complex cases. Carey is a student in the Collaborative Program at the Joint Centre for Bioethics. She is a graduate associate at the Centre for Ethics and at the Centre for Critical Qualitative Health Research at the University of Toronto. Carey earned her M.A. in 2011 from the University of Chicago where she studied comparative human development.Michel Ferrari, Ph.D., teaches developmental and educational psychology in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), part of the University of Toronto.
