| Annotation | For many health professionals, giving sensitive and appropriate care for the dying and bereaved is one of the most difficult aspects of their work. Drawing on palliative care research and practical experiences of care staff, this handbook provides practical guidance on a variety of aspects of psychosocial palliative care. The cultural and spiritual context of death and bereavement is emphasised throughout. Specific topics covered include: social and health care policy and the development of palliative care; working with an individual facing death; issues that may confront families and carers before the death; bereavement theory and interventions; and team work and support among staff caring for people who are dying. |
