Reviews

For those now training in palliative medicine, this will provide an invaluable and up to date review of all matters pertaining to psychological and psychiatric care...this book belongs on the library shelf in any hospice or palliative care unit. Roger Woodruff This is a well-organized, thoughtfully written book... I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about psychiatry in end-of-life care or who is contemplating a career in this area. Jeffrey Rado, MD, Rush University Medical Center (for the hardcover edition) A tour-de-force of the psychiatric and psychosocial aspects of palliative medicine... Given the frequency and importance of psychiatric and psychosocial problems, this book will be a very useful resource for practitioners of palliative care and certainly should be available for reference in the library of any palliative care unit.
