| Annotation | Major contributors in the field tell the story of hospice in America, not only historically, but as an up-to-the-moment state-of-the-art presentation of hospice and palliative care. The origins of the hospice movement in the US and the UK, and some issues of concern are considered: symptom control, spirituality, access to care, and end-of-life care and decision making. Issues relating to palliative care, the quality of care for the dying, and the impact of terminal care for both the family and the individual are discussed. A final section of articles has as its theme reflections and reminiscences. (RH). |
