The many unfounded myths and fears that surround working with patients at the end of their lives are dispelled in this thoughtful book, and the author provides both practical and emotional support for those involved in caring for dying patients. The book looks at palliative care models that address all aspects of a patient's wellbeing and conveys the latest studies and challenges in the field, bridging the gap between the theories and the realities of working with patients on a daily basis. It covers everything from the philosophy behind the practice to the diverse roles in the multi-disciplinary care team, with emphasis on how therapy and arts therapies can be integrated effectively. The varying demands of inpatient, outpatient and home care are described, and the author discusses the processes of bereavement, how to handle the practicalities of loss and the help that therapists can give at this stage. Full of professional advice and career guidance, this book will be an invaluable tool for those working with patients nearing the end of their life and those considering working work in this area.
