Nearly half of people at the end of life will receive hospice
care, but few psychologists, nurses, physicians, chaplains, and
hospice workers have been trained specifically to recognize and
address the psychological, social, and emotional issues that may
arise in patients who are dying. Patients in the midst of advanced
terminal illness may experience a variety of distressing emotions,
and may feel anxious, frightened, regretful, or desperate. This
guide was created specifically to guide helping professionals of
all kinds through the process of working through patients'
psychological issues to allow them peace and comfort in their final
moments.
The Helping Professional's Guide to End-of-Life Care clarifies
the spiritual and emotional care that patients need and presents an
evidence-based approach integrating cognitive behavioral therapy
(CBT), transpersonal psychotherapy, hypnosis, mindfulness, and
guided imagery to help patients manage emotional distress at the
end of life. Through case conceptualizations and detailed treatment
planning guidance, readers learn to formulate comprehensive
assessment and treatment plans for patients and gain skills that
will help them manage the emotional intensity of this work. This
secular, professional treatment model can be applied to patients of
any religious or spiritual background. The book also addresses
integrating the patient's therapeutic team with the medical team,
addressing the emotional needs of friends and family of the dying,
crisis intervention for suicidal patients, working with clients on
psychotropic medications, and how helping professionals can manage
their own emotions to become more effective clinicians.
