| Annotation | In discussing the impact of terminal illness, this book considers the different viewpoints of family members - the patient, partner, parents, children and significant others. Counselling in the context of this book means a number of things, including problem-solving, active listening and emotional support; but a distinction is made between professional counselling and the use of counselling skills by nurses and doctors. Practical guidance is given to enable health-care workers to think through their roles and set realistic objectives. The breaking of bad news, dealing with fear and grief, coping with pain (physical, psychological, social and spiritual) and the handling of anger, guilt and avoidance are all included. |
