520    Psychological, social, and spiritual care is as important 
       as physical care at the end of life. Yet caregivers often 
       feel ill-equipped to give that nonphysical care. This book
       shows how to do it. The book addresses all caregivers who 
       attend dying patients: doctors, nurses, chaplains, clergy 
       in the pastorate, social workers, clinical psychologists, 
       family caregivers, and others. It covers such topics as 
       the functional and emotional trajectories of dying; the 
       varied approaches of patients and caregivers to end-of-
       life decisions; culturally based beliefs about dying; the 
       differences between depression and grief; and peoplells 
       views about the right time to die, the death experience 
       itself, and the afterlife. For each topic the book 
       introduces core concepts and summarizes recent research 
       about them. The book presents much of its material in 
       readable tables for easy reference; applies the material 
       to real-life cases; lists the main lltake homell points 
       for each chapter; and gives references for additional 
       reading. The book helps caregivers anticipate the 
       reactions of patients and survivors to end-of-life traumas
       and suggests how caregivers can respond insightfully and 
       compassionately. At the same time the book challenges 
       caregivers to think through their own views about death 
       and dying. This book, therefore, is a must-read for all 
       caregiversllprofessional and nonprofessional alikellwho 
       strive to give their patients comprehensive, high-quality 
       end-of-life care.
