In recent years, palliative care has emerged as the leading model
of person-centered care focused on preserving quality of life and
alleviating distress for people and families experiencing serious
and life-limiting medical illness. Alongside this development has
come a growing recognition of the need for expertise in psychiatric
diagnosis, psychopharmacology, and psychotherapy within the
interdisciplinary team of specialists tasked with identifying and
addressing the varied sources of suffering in patients with
advanced medical illnesses. The Clinical Manual of Palliative Care
Psychiatry was written to motivate and guide readers-whether mental
health clinicians or palliative care providers-to deepen their
understanding of the psychosocial dimensions of suffering for the
benefit of seriously ill patients and the support of their
families. Great care has been exercised in the choice of topics and
features: * Chapter content emphasizes practical aspects of
assessment and management that are unique to the palliative care
setting, ensuring that clinicians are equipped to address the most
common challenges they are likely to face.* Each chapter ends with
a list of supplemental materials-including key publications (e.g.,
"Fast Facts" from the Center to Advance Palliative Care) and links
to relevant modules from the Education in Palliative and
End-of-Life Care curriculum (e.g., EPEC for Oncology)-aimed at
extending and enhancing reader knowledge of the topics covered.*
The authors provide thorough coverage of medication use, including
off-label applications, which are common in palliative care.* A
wealth of tables and figures present clinically relevant
information in a concise and easy-to-grasp manner. Practical and
brimming with essential information and useful techniques, the
Clinical Manual of Palliative Care Psychiatry empowers both mental
health clinicians and palliative care practitioners to more
skillfully respond to psychosocial suffering in seriously ill and
dying patients.
