| Annotation | This American text is written for those who work in hospices and other settings that provide care for those with terminal illness. The theme is that the focus of counselling with the terminally ill should be on the psychospiritual aspects of death and dying, and is based on two assumptions: that death anxiety, not pain, is the most critical issue for the dying person; and that the time of dying is an opportunity for growth and transformation. |
