The rapidly evolving field of Palliative Care focuses on the
management of phenomena that produce discomfort and that undermine
the quality of life of patients with incurable medical disorders.
The interdisciplinary clinical purview includes those factors -
physical, psychological, social, and spiritual - that contribute to
suffering, undermine quality of life, and prevent a death with
comfort and dignity. Palliative Care is a fundamental part of
clinical practice, the "parallel universe" to therapies directed at
cure or prolongation of life. All clinicians who treat patients
with chronic life-threatening diseases are ingaged in palliative
care, continually attempting to manage complex symptomatology and
functional disturbances.
The scientific foundation of palliative care is advancing, and
similarly, methods are needed to highlight, for practitioners at
the bedside, the findings of empirical research. TOPICS IN
PALLIATIVE CARE has been designed to meet the need for enhanced
communication in this field.
To highlight the diversity of concerns in palliative care, each
volume of the TOPICS IN PALLIATIVE CARE Series is divided into
sections that address a range of issues. Addressing aspects of
symptom control, psychosocial functioning, spiritual or existential
concerns, ethics, and other topics, the chapters in each section
review the given area and focus on a small number of salient issues
to analysis. The authors present and evaluate existing data,
provide a context drawn from both the clinical and research
settings, and integrate knowledge in a manner that is both
practical and readable. The specific topics covered in Volume 2 are
Neuropathic Pain, Cachexia/Anorexia, Asthenia, and Psychological
Issues in the Caregiver.
