Palliative Care Perspectives is a guide to the art and science of
palliative care that links real stories of illness with practical
advice to delineate clinical practice in a way that reflects the
daily concerns of clinicians. Clearly and compassionately written,
this book emphasizes important topics often neglected in formal
clinical training, including the history and evolution of
palliative care in the United States, as well as how clinicians can
better understand aging and dying from both a physiological and
human perspective. Written by a recognized pioneer in the field of
palliative care, each chapter highlights this human approach to
illness with narratives and anecdotes drawn from decades of
practice experience. This new edition features thoroughly updated
research and citations, a new chapter on burnout and compassion
fatigue, and a significant expansion of the topic of intercultural
communication. Well-grounded in the academic literature, Palliative
Care Perspectives is an ideal introduction to the emerging field of
palliative care for care providers new to practice, as well as lay
readers seeking to learn more about chronic and terminal illness,
presented in a personal and accessible format.
