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.
