This volume examines crucial concerns in palliative care, including
the proper balance between comfort and cure for the patient, the
integration of spiritual well-being, and the challenges of
providing care in the absence of basic medical services and
supplies. In the first section, palliative-care pioneers Constance
Dahlin, Eduardo Bruera, Neil MacDonald, and Declan Walsh recount
the early history of the discipline. Part 2 discusses the role of
poetry, prose, plays, and other aspects of the humanities in the
practice of palliative care. Part 3 explores essential current
issues in the field, including autonomy, the use of opioids, and
the impact of artificial intelligence on the evolution of
palliative care. The final section focuses on the spiritual
dimensions of pain and suffering. Rich with anecdotes and personal
stories and featuring contributions from pioneers and current
practitioners, The Pursuit of Life is an essential assessment of
the past, present, and future of palliative care. In addition to
the editors, the contributors include W. Andrew Achenbaum, Stacy L.
Auld, Elena Pagani Bagliacca, Costantino Benedetti, Courtenay
Bruce, Eduardo Bruera, Joseph Calandrino, Jim Cleary, Constance
Dahlin, Andrea Ferrari, Mauro Ferrari, Joseph J. Fins, Bettie Jo
Tennon Hightower, Kathryn B. Kirkland, Robin W. Lovin, Neil
MacDonald, Charles Millikan, Dominique J. Monlezun, Tullio
Proserpio, Giovanna Sironi, Daniel P. Sulmasy, and Declan Walsh.
