Abstract
We examine the needs of children with chronic physical illness and discuss how their needs may be met by counseling. Initially counseling is defined and boundaries with other activities established. Issues involved in counseling children with chronic illness are outlined and children's special needs regarding psychosocial issues discussed, with examples relating to asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and epilepsy presented. Finally recommendations are made regarding counseling services.
