Edited by two of the leading social work clinician-researchers in the US, this text serves as the definitive resource for practicing clinicians and fulfills the need for social work faculty who wish to complement general health care texts with information specific to palliative and end-of-life care.
Reviews / Votes
The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work is an excellent resource for all clinicians who have the privilege of caring for seriously ill patients and their families. We recommend it as a necessary resource for every palliative care and hospice team, and we suggest it as an important reference for all social workers and social work trainees practicing in health care. Additionally, the book provides valuable information for leaders of health care systems and for policy makers who are preparing to face the challenge of creating large-scale interventions to meet the needs of this patient population. * Journal of Palliative Care, Jan 2013 * This comprehensive textbook emphasizes the important role of the social worker in palliative care and sets the standards for the practice of palliative social work...The book will be an essential tool for all practioners and all those involved in palliative care. * Anticancer Research * This is an impressive book and very reseonably priced.
