" Dr. Zeltzer and Ms. Schlank have written an outstanding book for parents of children and adolescents with chronic pain. For any parent who has left a doctor's office saying to himself of herself, 'What exactly did the doctor say about why my child still has pain?,' this book will help. For clinicians and trainees, this book is an ideal refresher course on the experience of chronic and recurrent pain for children and parents and on cognitive-behavioral, psycho-educational, and rehabilitative approaches to treatment. I recommend it highly"

It offers parents techniques that they can use and markers by which they can evaluate progress. This is a valuable and important book that will be appreciated by every family struggling with a child in pain."

" Dr. Zeltzer draws upon years of experience as one of the world's leading authorities on pediatric pain treatment in writing a book that parents will find reassuring and informative. Parents will gain hope when they discover many available treatment options. The book is easy to read and provides sympathetic and realistic advice, especially to those who have pursued the often long and frustrating search for help. Pediatricians also will find the book a helpful resource when caring for children who suffer from chronic pain."

" Conquering Your Child's Chronic Pain is not only an interesting work but an exciting presentation. I am particularly touched by her experiments and research on yoga as practiced by me, which she says has wonderful effects on these children. Asanas and breathing techniques work on the organic and nervous systems and regulate the hormonal secretions by the confidence and inspiring children to develop healthy minds. I hope Dr. Zeltzer continues to do such subjective research on yoga so that the young generation regains freedom from pain and can lead positive and dynamic lives "

Laura Schanberg, M.D., associate Professor, pediatric rheumatology, Duke University Medical Center
"A wonderful book! Dr. Zeltzer's approach is loving, respectful, upbeat, and -best of all- successful. Conquering Your Child's Chronic Pain will be required reading for the staff of many pediatric pain clinics, including ours at Duke, in addition to being highly recommended for the parents of the children we serve"

Steven J. Weisman, M.D., Jane B. Pettit Chair in Pain Management, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin; professor of anesthesiology and pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin
" Although it is written for parents, I would highly recommend this book to all medical practitioners who treat children and adolescents with pain problems. If the pediatricians and family practitioners read Dr. Zeltzer and Ms. Schlank's book, they would fill their palette of treatment options for many patients in their practices. Most importantly, this book offers parents hope and much practical advice on treating many different pain problems. It is a must-read for any patient with chronic pain."
