Cicely Saunders is universally acclaimed as a pioneer of modern hospice care. Trained initially in nursing and social work, she qualified in medicine in 1958 and subsequently dedicated the whole of her professional life to improving the care of the dying and bereaved people. Founding St. Christopher's Hospice in London in 1967, she encouraged a radical new approach to end of life care combining attention to physical, social, emotional and spiritual problems, brilliantly captured in her concept of "total pain." Her ideas about clinical care, education and research have been hugely influential, leading to numerous prizes and awards in recognition of her humanitarian achievements. This book includes a selection of Cicely Saunders' most important writings throughout a period of over forty years.
Full articles, chapters, editiorials, reviews, and commentaries include important clinical themes relating to the care of dying people such as pain and symptom management, issues of communication and truth telling, and the needs of particular patient groups, such as those with cancer and other diseases. The book includes pieces that reflect on the wider development of the palliative care field and on policy and organizational issues. Some of the papers take up the theme of spiritual care at the end of life, as well as the question of euthanasia, raising in turn issues of a wider theological and philosophical nature.
The articles are written for a multi-disciplinary audience and will be of enormous interest to many professionals now working in palliative care. The collection will become a key work of reference for those interested in the evolution of hospice and palliative care and will serveas an important sourcebook of many currently hard to obtain publications by the acknowledged founder of the modern hospice movement. This book will also stand as a remarkable testimony to the personal contribution of Cicely Saunders and the influence she has had upon the modern field of palliative and end of life care.

In 1974 the Church of England published a groundbreaking report on euthanasia. Considered by many Christians to be one of the key texts on the subject, it has now been revised and updated with important new additions and commentaries. On Dying Well investigates moral, theological, clinical and legal arguments for and against voluntary euthanasia. It presents arguments on both sides and considers real cases, thereby locating the issues in their clinical context. The report is both intellectually robust and sensitive to the realities of death. On Dying Well is, therefore, as much a contribution to the debate on euthanasia today as it was 25 years ago. The report, while recognising that there may be exceptional cases demanding special decisions, nevertheless concludes that the case for legalising voluntary euthanasia is not one that can be supported. The conclusions are satisfactory because they emerge from careful examination of the issues and reasoned arguments. Anyone who is concerned about euthanasia, or who would like to deepen their own reflections on the subject, should read On Dying Well.

Todkranke Menschen begleiten, eine palliative Medizin und Pflege entwickeln, die den Patienten ihr Sterben erleichtert: Das war das Lebenswerk der englischen Pflegespezialistin und Arztin Cicely Saunders. Fur sie stand der leidende Mensch mit seinen Noten und Angsten, aber auch mit seinen Starken, seiner personlichen Geschichte und seiner Spiritualitat im Zentrum. Die hier erstmalig ins Deutsche ubertragenen Reden und Essays erzahlen von der Grundung des ersten Hospizes, von Begegnungen mit sterbenden und doch hoffnungsvollen Menschen, von dem eindrucklichen Ethos der Menschlichkeit und von der Religiositat der Autorin. Es sind personlich gehaltene, konkret erzahlte und zugleich tiefgehende Texte. Martina Holder-Franz, Jahrgang 1967, Pfarrerin und Sozialpadagogin. Sie lebt und arbeitet als Pfarrerin in Riehen/Basel.

Todkranke Menschen begleiten, eine palliative Medizin und Pflege entwickeln, die den Patienten ihr Sterben erleichtert: Das war das Lebenswerk der englischen Pflegespezialistin und Arztin Cicely Saunders. Fur sie stand der leidende Mensch mit seinen Noten und Angsten, aber auch mit seinen Starken, seiner personlichen Geschichte und seiner Spiritualitat im Zentrum. Die hier erstmalig ins Deutsche ubertragenen Reden und Essays erzahlen von der Grundung des ersten Hospizes, von Begegnungen mit sterbenden und doch hoffnungsvollen Menschen, von dem eindrucklichen Ethos der Menschlichkeit und von der Religiositat der Autorin. Sie zeigen, wie sehr die Grunderin des Londoner Sterbehospizes St. Christopher's dabei selbst aus den Quellen einer christlichen Spiritualitat und Ethik geschopft hat. Es sind personlich gehaltene, konkret erzahlte und zugleich tiefgehende Texte. Wer beruflich oder privat einen Menschen beim Sterbeprozess begleiten und dabei mit den Fragen nach dem Sinn, nach dem Leiden und dem Tod konfrontiert ist, wird diese Reden und Essays mit Gewinn lesen.
