About this book

In the new edition of this unique professional resource, hospice and palliative care team membersā€”especially social workers and counselorsā€”will find the empirical evidence and compassionate advice they need to provide excellent holistic psychosocial care to individuals who are dying or bereaved. Encompassing the journey through diagnosis, treatment, recurrence, palliative care, and bereavement, this guide describes appropriate interventions for each of the key transitions that most dying patients and their families face. Included throughout are personal reflections and experiences of social workers, counselors, and other team members, common major challenges to the healthcare team, and important considerations for each transition.
