| Abstract: | Comprehensive care for the severely asthmatic child includes psychological as well as medical treatment. Family therapy is a recognized modality of therapy. Investigations have examined the role of emotion and asthma as well as psychosomatic asthma. Pharmacological treatment of β2-agonist and cromolyn prior to disciplining the child prevents psychosomatic asthma secondary to crying or shouting. Adherence to multiple asthma therapeutic modalities is imperative, and a psychological and medical team can address these important clinical issues in a high-risk population. |
