This is a welcome book that aims to address the way intensive care medicine is practiced and the profound effects it can have on those closest to the patient. ... Families in the Intensive Care Unit can and should be read by health care professionals at any stage in their critical care career. This textbook is well written, and appropriately to the subject matter, each chapter strikes a perfect balance between being humanistic and technical. (Alexander White and Matteo Parotto, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 129 (3), September, 2019) This is a unique and important contribution that should be familiar to senior providers in critical care. As a multidisciplinary reference, it also should be available to the other disciplines working in the ICU. Failure to recognize the principles this book describes places both our ICU patients and their loved ones at risk. (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2019)
