Cicely Saunders is universally acclaimed as a pioneer of modern
hospice care. Trained initially in nursing and social work, she
qualified in medicine in 1958 and subsequently dedicated the whole
of her professional life to improving the care of the dying and
bereaved people. Founding St Christopher's Hospice in London in
1967, she encouraged a radical new approach to end of life care
combining attention to physical, social, emotional and spiritual
problems, brilliantly captured in her concept of 'total pain'. Her
ideas about clinical care, education and research have been hugely
influential, leading to numerous prizes and awards in recognition
of her humanitarian achievements. In this book the sociologist and
historian David Clark presents a selection of her vast
correspondence, together with his own commentary. The letters of
Cicely Saunders tell a remarkable story of vision, determination
and creativity. They should be read by anyone interested in how we
die in the modern world.
