The work addresses the question of how doctors manage difficult conversation situations with children, adolescents, and their parents. The book is based on protocols from conversation situations in various clinical contexts. To understand which communication techniques doctors intuitively use, verbal and nonverbal communication is described for the first time, illustrated, and commented on in its communicative function. The foundational section discusses conversation structures appropriate to developmental stages and involving multiple family members. The specialized section focuses on specific situations, such as abdominal pain in children, addiction issues in adolescents, child abuse, or life-threatening conditions.
