Hidden aspects of palliative care / edited by Brian Nyatanga and Maxine Astley-Pepper
Livre
Edité par Quay Books - 2005
La jaquette porte en plis : "In Victorian times, sex was a taboo topic for polite conversation. Today, death and dying seem to have taken its place, with many people uncomfortable about broaching either subject." "However, the current high profile of end-of-life care and palliative care in general provides a desperately needed opportunity for an open and challenging debate. This book will not only encourage new thinking and approaches to palliative care, but also challenge some of the conservative thinking around death and dying." "This book includes practical, clinical and philosophical dialogue for students, practitioners and academics alike. Commenting on such hidden aspects is always difficult, but the authors are brave enough to broach these topics with sensitivity. In its attempt to reveal the hidden themes, the book is intended as a resource guide, providing a theoretical link to practical observation and application. It is an honest, challenging and timely read, one that will generate debate across palliative care settings and classrooms. The reader with an open liberal approach will find that this book enriches the mind and empowers the professional within palliative care."
