Dying is a social experience, changing irrevocably the family and
social networks around each individual who dies. Older people are a
growing proportion of the population and need help to think and
plan to make positive choices about this important phase of their
life. Social work should help to strengthen individuals to achieve
a respectful death and families to move forward in their lives.
This valuable book focuses on practice interventions, advocating
open communication and skilled interpersonal practice to help dying
and bereaved people, their families and carers. The authors review
sociological and psychological ideas about dying and bereavement,
incorporating spiritual care, multi-professional practice and
ethical issues likely to face social workers in end-of-life and
palliative care. Important features include: a demonstration of the
importance of the social work role in palliative care a firm
knowledge base for social work practice with dying and bereaved
people in both end-of-life and palliative care a strong focus on
social processes as well as psychological and emotional responses
to death and bereavement extended case examples help to develop
practice skills fully 'pause and reflect' sections help students
and practitioners think through their own reactions to practice
with people who are dying and bereaved exploration of group and
community interventions in end-of-life care an international focus,
with useful further reading and website information. This book will
be essential reading for students, health care workers and social
workers and their managers who are working in adult services, end
of life and palliative care. Read Malcolm Payne's blog at
