"Palliative care patients develop a number of devastating physical,
psychosocial, and spiritual problems, and their caregivers suffer
severe distress. This book contains the vast majority of what we
need to know to be able to help our patients and families. The
information is not only up-to-date, but is also provided in an
elegant and enjoyable way. Drs. Chochinov and Breitbart have done
an outstanding job in updating their highly successful first
edition. The
second edition of this book is mandatory reading for all of us who
deliver care on a daily basis."
- Eduardo Bruera, Chair, Department of Palliative Care and
Rehabilitation Medicine, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson
Cancer Center
"Psychosocial, existential, and spiritual issues are core factors
determining our need to be 'more than symptomatologists' in
offering palliative medicine. This comprehensive, well-referenced
second edition provides nuanced insights into these challenging
opportunities, as we strive to support the transformation of
suffering into optimal experience for patients, family members, and
caregivers."
- Balfour M. Mount, Emeritus Professor of Palliative Medicine,
McGill University
"Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine will take most
readers to new depths and heights in their knowledge and
understanding of the neuropsychiatric complications of end-stage
disease. Chapters on the demented, the elderly, those with serious
chronic mental illness, substance abusers, and the special needs of
children (and much more besides) make the Handbook essential
reading for those specializing in palliative medicine, and for
other
healthcare professionals involved in the care of those with
advanced progressive disease. Highly recommended."
- Robert Twycross, Emeritus Clinical Reader in Palliative Medicine,
Oxford University
"We wish to envelop our patients in a warm mantle of care.
Information on the psychosocial, spiritual and ethical aspects of
that care, however, is oft time scattered and disjointed. The
second edition of Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine
once again delivers, providing us with a rich source of wisdom on
psycho-oncology. The editors have brought together a cast of
graceful writers who cover the field in a cohesive, elegant
fashion. This
book's a winner....You'll enjoy it."
- Neil MacDonald, Founding Director, McGill Cancer
Nutrition-Rehabilitation Program, McGill University
"The publication of the first edition of Handbook of Psychiatry in
Palliative Medicine had a major impact because it clearly fulfilled
a clinical need. Specialist psychiatrists who are knowledgeable
about palliative care are thin on the ground, and though an ideal
arrangement would allow face-to-face consultation with a
psychiatrist, the availability of such practitioners is limited.
This book goes a long way in filling that gap and provides a
comprehensive view of the area. The new edition will solidify the
place of this book as an essential resource for physicians in
palliative medicine and also members of the multidisciplinary
team."
- G.W. Hanks, Emeritus Professor, Department of Palliative
Medicine, University of Bristol
"This is a well-organized, thoughtfully written book. The authors
include many experts who work at the interface of psychiatry and
palliative care. The book is clearly written and summarizes the
current state of research in this ever expanding field of study. 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."
