Individuals and families face challenges at the end of life that
can vary significantly depending on social and cultural contexts,
yet more than ever is now known about the needs that cut across the
great diversity of experiences in the face of dying and death. A
number of behavioural interventions and clinical approaches to
addressing these needs have been developed and are available to
help providers care for clients and assist them in achieving their
goals. Perspectives on Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Disease,
Social and Cultural Contexts explores how these interventions can
be used to address a range of issues across social and cultural
contexts for those in need of end of life care. With perspectives
from experienced clinicians, providers, and caregivers from around
the world, the book offers a strong foundation in contemporary
evidence-based practice alongside seasoned practice insights from
the field and explores interventions for people as diverse as HIV
caregivers in Africa and individuals dying with dementia. In
addition, readers will learn about the process of caring for
individuals with chronic illnesses including severe mental illness;
weigh the impact of policy regulations on the availability of and
access to palliative care and interventions; and be able to compare
the different issues experienced by family caregivers and formal
caregivers. As the companion volume to Perspectives on Behavioural
Interventions in Palliative and End-of-Life Care, this book will be
of interest to a wide variety of individuals, such as academics,
researchers and postgraduates in the fields of mental health,
medicine, psychology and social work. It will also be essential
reading for healthcare providers and trainees from psychosocial and
palliative medicine, social work and nursing.
