图书简介
This book examines children and young peoples attempts to participate in conversations about their own treatment throughout uncertain cancer trajectories, including the events leading up to diagnosis, treatment, remission, relapse, and cure or death. Focusing on one hospital in Barcelona, Spain, Clemente examines the cat-and-mouse game between children and young people who persistently ask questions, and adults who attempt to protect the children from potentially distressing news. Doctors and parents use six strategies that are often contradictory - including deception, complete non-disclosure, and partial disclosure - to regulate communication according to the changing circumstances of a specific childs cancer trajectory. A fundamental objective of this communication regulation is to prevent the multiple uncertainties associated with cancer and its treatment from becoming the central focus of talk and social life. Clemente also highlights that containing these uncertainties requires an institutional mandate to practice hope and optimism, to hide negative emotions, and to curtail talk about the future. Clearly and compellingly written, Clemente provides new models for examining cancer communication in this fascinating study that provides ethnographic case studies of childhood cancer patients in Spain, using childrens own words.
