| Annotation | This article focuses on culturally sensitive clinical issues related to best practices with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) older dying patients at key points in the therapeutic relationship. Vital concepts, including practice evaluation and clinical skills are presented through a cultural and oncology lens. There is a paucity of LGBT research and literature as well as a shortfall of MSW graduate school education specific to social work palliative and end-of-life care (PELC) practice with LGBT older adults. The content of this article was designed to be adapted and used as an educational tool for institutions, agencies, graduate programmes, medical professions, social work and students. Learning the unique elements of LGBT cultural history and their implications on end-of-life (EOL) care can improve social work practice. (JL). |
