Concerned with practices in palliative care, this text focuses on the psycho-social aspects of palliative care as opposed to the medical and nursing dimensions. Beginning with a framework of the interdependence of all aspects which is characteristic of the holistic nature of the subject, the book is intended to help readers identify the principles which underpin good practice in the non-medical dimensions in palliative care. The book caters for the professional reader and should be relevant to nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and managers, as well as social workers undertaking professional training and working in palliative care.
