Healing Images for Children: Teaching
Relaxation and Guided Imagery to Children Facing Cancer and Other Serious
Illnesses is a comprehensive guide for families
and health care providers with educational information relating to medical
treatments and relaxation strategies. The first section of the book provides
background information on research describing the healing power of relaxation,
music, imagery, and humor. The second section includes 27 stories designed
specifically to help children develop coping strategies to reduce the pain
and anxiety of medical procedures and treatments. The guide is beautifully
illustrated. It is a valuable adjunct to traditional medical interventions.
Nancy Klein, M.A., combines twenty years of teaching with the lessons learned
from her own experiences with cancer in developing resources for children facing
serious illnesses. Nancy offers a way for parents and other support people
to actively participate in a child’s recovery. As a speaker and educator,
Ms. Klein’s teaching covers the full spectrum from elementary school
to university classes.
