Psychosocial Interventions in End-of-Life Care: The Hope for a “Good Death” de Peggy Gordon

Psychosocial Interventions in End-of-Life Care: The Hope for a “Good Death”: Research in Death Studies

Autor Peggy Gordon
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2017
The concept of a "good death" has been hotly debated in medical circles for decades. This volume delves into the possibility and desirability of a "good death" by presenting the psychosocial measures of care as a crucial component, such as religion, existentialism, hope and meaning-making. The volume also focuses on oncologic psychiatry and the influence of technology as a means to alleviate pain and suffering, and potentially provide relief to those at the end of life. Such initiatives are aimed at diminishing pain and are socially bolstering and emotionally comforting to ensure a peaceful closure with life as opposed to a battle waged.
Utilizing the most recent information from medical journals and books to present the latest on healthcare and dying today, this volume crosses the boundaries of thanatology, psychology, religion, spirituality, medical ethics and public health.

Recenzii

"This is a well–written synopsis of the history and our current state of thinking about what constitutes a Good Death. The first thing that drew me in was her frequent quotation or reference to people I have come to respect—Ira Byock, Christina Puchalski, Balfour Mount, Cicely Saunders, Allan Kellehear, Atul Gawande, Harvey Chochinov, Bill Breitbart—to mention a few. The second was that the text was brief, to the point, and well referenced...I would recommend this book to anyone who works in Palliative Care as a good summary of where we are at in looking after the patient’s interests. Which is what we are meant to be doing."
Roger Woodruff, Hospice Care Newsletter

Descriere

This volume explores the possibility and desirability of a "good death" by presenting the psychosocial measures of care as a crucial component, such as religion, existentialism, hope and meaning-making. It also focuses on oncologic psychiatry and the influence of technology as a means to alleviate pain and suffering, and potentially provide relief to those at the end of life. Such initiatives are shown to be physically pain free, socially bolstering and emotionally comforting to ensure a peaceful closure with life as opposed to a battle waged.
