Book Description
In light of the more recent attitude that even premature infants have the capacity to experience pain, 19 papers from the first biennial International Forum on Pediatric Pain (1996: Nova Scotia) treat psychometric, neurophysiological, neurobiological, behavioral, and clinical issues in the measurement, management, and research on pain in a population for whom the standard self-report is untenable--except through specially- designed measures (e.g. the Poker Chip Tool and Pain Experience History-Child form).
