The challenges faced by individuals and families at the end of life
are still incredibly diverse, and many behavioural interventions and
clinical approaches have been developed to address this great
diversity of experiences in the face of dying and death, helping
providers to care for their clients. Perspectives on Behavioural
Interventions in Palliative and End-of-Life Care is an accessible
resource that collates and explores interventions that can be used to
address a wide range of behavioural, psychological, social and
spiritual issues that arise when people are facing advanced chronic or
life-limiting illness. With perspectives from experienced clinicians,
providers, and caregivers from around the world, this book offers a
strong foundation in contemporary evidence-based practice alongside
seasoned practice insights from the field. Its chapters explore:
Interventions to enhance communication and decision making The
management of physical and mental health symptoms Meaning-Centred
Psychotherapy for cancer patients Dignity Therapy Interventions
embracing cultural diversity and intersectionality. Together with
Perspectives on Palliative and End-of-Life Care: Disease, Social and
Cultural Context, the book provides a foundation for collaborative
international and interprofessional work by providing state-of science
information on behavioural interventions addressing mental health and
wellness. It is of interest to academics, researchers and
postgraduates in the fields of mental health, medicine, psychology and
social work, and is essential reading for healthcare providers and
trainees from psychosocial and palliative medicine, social work and
nursing.
