Abstract

This, the fifth official document of the SIOP Working Committee on Psychosocial Issues in Pediatric Oncology, develops another important topic: the Therapeutic Alliance between families and staff. This is addressed to the Pediatric Oncology Community as Guidelines that could be followed. Every parent, medical staff member, and psychosocial professional involved in the care of the child should be responsible for cooperating in the child's best interest. Everyone must work together toward the common goal of curing the cancer and minimizing its medical and psychosocial side-effects.
