Communicating with Dying People and Their Relatives (Paperback, 1st New edition)

Exploring the emotional problems patients, relatives, close friends and professionals experience and the support they need when someone is dying, this book focuses on the skills required to support the patient and to provide pre- and post-bereavement counselling for relatives. It is based on theory and research, illustrated with examples from the author's practical and international experience. It emphasises practical communication skills that can be applied in everyday working practice. It encourages readers to reflect on their own practice, strengths and weaknesses, and their contribution to the multi-professional team. Questions and exercises at the end of each chapter encourage reflection, discussion and learning. This work should be of benefit to health professionals, especially those working in palliative and terminal care, hospices and nursing homes. It is of particular use to members of nursing teams. It should also be of interest to patients and relatives who are close to a dying person.
