Recenzii
Palliative Care is a valuable primer for the social work profession-not just those working in palliative care teams but those in general social work practice. Utilizing an ecological framework at micro, meso, and macro levels, they have assembled a comprehensive review of palliative care components, standards of care, and available resources from domestic and international sources.... Recommended
This book is (I think) a celebration of the achievements of social work in the field of palliative care, and an invitation for social workers in other areas to adopt the principles and practices developed in palliative care.
Palliative Care captures the central role of social work in care of seriously ill patients and families. Chapters are organized consistently with the domains of the National Consensus Project Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, further illustrating the role of social work across every domain. It is a 'Guide for Health Social Workers,' but the deep and rich content of this book could be a guide for all professionals.
As our population ages, there will be an increase in illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, and this book will prove very useful to both the quality of care and the longevity of practitioners who are learning or might have many years' experience in the field and would value information on best practices in palliative care.
Everybody now knows that the majority of health care problems are driven by social determinants of health--lack of housing, food, safe neighborhoods, social supports--issues that the traditional practice of medicine is largely helpless to fix. This textbook illuminates the essential role of social work in addressing these factors during a serious illness. The effectiveness of palliative care in helping people living with serious illness to achieve what matters most to them is due to the determined advocacy and resilience of the social workers on our teams. This book shows how it's done.
Rooted in complex reality, the counsel in this book is intensive and practical. The authors and their editors push us to see beyond medical diagnoses to the person, and through the person to the social and cultural contexts that make us more than individuals. In other words, it succeeds in examining the enormous potential of palliative care, which, in practice, is still largely unrealized. Altogether, this book is a fantastic read for anyone interested in caring for humans.
