The scenarios reproduced in the book are based on 'real' cases which the authors have encountered in their practice, and only the most suited to this book have been selected. These give the reader an idea of the challenges one may face in the examination, laying the importance not only on the diagnosis but also treating the child and adolescent with respect, and the impact of the environment on modifying physician's approach to planning the management.
