The Pips of Child Life Series is essential material for child life and play specialists, health care professionals, students, educators, and scholars interested in the history of psychosocial care of children and families in hospitals.
Designed for students majoring in early childhood, psychology, child development, or education, The Pips of Child Life Series is a two book series that offers a glimpse into the early play activities and programs in hospitals and the women who led the way through the late 1990s. Editors Joan Turner and Civita Brown relate the development of child life to universal theories, world events, and changes within the field of health care.
As the first collection to explore these changes, The Pips of Child Life: The Middle Years of Play Programs in Hospitals covers the late 1970s through the late 1990s – an exciting period of advances in science and technology in medicine and health care. During this time, advocacy for the care of children in hospitals was transformed from an adult-centered approach to a focus on the needs of the child and family first.
The Pips of Child Life: The Middle Years of Play Programs in Hospitals edited by Joan Turner and Civita Brown:
- Shares key features relating to the development of the child life profession through stories and complemented with profiles of eight leaders.
- as inspired by the Child Life Council Archives at Utica College
- Begins with the establishment of the name “child life,” a history of important milestones of the profession—certification, professional conferences, education, and curriculum.
- Illuminates the essence of the child life profession: attentiveness to the needs and interests of the child
