Summary: Review of Ambulatory Pediatrics
Comment: ...Since 1968 the field of ambulatory (general or community)pediatrics has developed rapidly and today most pediatric departmentsin the United States have a large division of general pediatricsresponsible for patient care, teaching and research in all out-of-hospital settings. Such divisions are also responsible for the care of children with complex chronic diseases both in the hospital and the community.

Ambulatory Pediatrics has 81 chapters with 103 contributors from various American universities. The book is divided into four major sections: Child health in the 21st century, health promotion and disease prevention, management of disease and the practice of contextual and integrative child care. The new edition has undergone many changes with less duplication of topics from the more traditional pediatric textbooks. The focus in this edition is more on the clinician's role in health promotion, disease prevention, adaptation, early intervention, coordination of the care of children with chronic illnesses, diagnosis and treatment of children with psychosocial problems and the role of the family and the community in child health.

In Ambulatory Pediatrics you will find chapters on homeless children, maternal literacy, child labor, poverty, self-hypnosis, self-care and international health perspectives. In the section on health promotion you will find chapters on home visits, telephone care and computers in pediatrics. ...

Ambulatory Pediatrics is a book that can be warmly recommended to the pediatrician working in general pediatrics, the out-patient department and the community pediatrician.
