From reviews of the hardback:
'This new edition consolidates the position of the Oxford Textbook as the definitive text in Palliative Medicine. It remains a very readable, well-resourced and well presented book.' -Hospice Information Bulletin, March 2004
'Its predecessors, published in 1993 and 1998 respectively, garnered high praise and wide acceptance, establishing The Oxford Textbook as the gold standard reference text in our rapidly expanding field. The third edition continues this proud tradition... a wonderful testament to a rapidly growing body of knowledge in a dynamic new field of health care competence.' -Palliative Medicine, July 2004
'This textbook will remain a core text.' -International Journal of Palliative Nursing, 2004
'When the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine was first published in 1993 it was immediately acclaimed as the best and most comprehensive textbook in the field. Specialists in palliative medicine came to regard both the first and second edition (published in 1998) as indispensable sources of reliable information to assist in the management of complex problems... Should libraries, palliative care teams, medical schools and individual specialists invest in the new tome? My answer would be an unequivocal yes.' -Professor Mike Richards CBE, National Cancer Director in Palliative Medicine, July 2004
'This book will remain the gold standard reference in palliative medicine for the next few years at least. The editors are to be congratulated on the successful completion of what is a very impressive reference.' -IAHPC Website, January 2004
The first two editions of this book have come to be regarded as the bible on the subject
Over 170 contributors representing world-wide palliative care
Deals with all aspects of malignant and non-malignant conditions
Deals comprehensively with ethical issues, clinical and organisational audit, quality of life, bereavement, paediatric issues, and the whole spectrum of psychosocial issues
Reflects the vast spectrum of knowledge and experience
New to this edition
50% of the book is brand new, it includes 66 completely new chapters; only 5 - 10% remains unchanged
Palliative medicine education has developed considerably; this new edition meets the requirements of world-wide syllabuses
Major emphasis on non-malignant conditions and multi-disciplinary team-work
The range of contributors is far more international than the previous edition reflecting the much greater expertise world-wide in the subject
Includes new sections on the contributions to palliative medicine of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, music- , art- and speech- therapists, stoma therapists, clinical pharmacists, and clinical psychologists emphasizing the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject
The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine has firmly established itself as the definitive book on the subject and is used in more than 8,000 palliative care services in over 100 countries. This new edition has been completely rewritten and revised to reflect the rapid growth of the specialty. Two world-famous doctors, Sir Kenneth Calman and Nathan Cherny, bring vast experience to the book and have joined Derek Doyle and Geoffrey Hanks on the editorial team. There are authoritative, international contributions from over 150 renowned experts.
The book provides comprehensive coverage of ethical issues, communication, research, patient evaluation and outcome measures, the principles of drug use, symptom management, and the management of pain. Nutrition, paediatric palliative medicine, palliative medicine in non-malignant disease, cultural and spiritual issues, social, and work related issues, rehabilitation, complementary therapies, palliative medicine in the home, bereavement, and education and training are also covered in detail. The new edition includes sixty-six completely new chapters and contributors. New sections and chapters devoted exclusively to such non-malignant conditions as cardiac disease, non-malignant respiratory disease, non-malignant neurological disease and AIDS have been added as well as new chapters on palliative medicine in intensive care and geriatric care, and complementary and alternative therapies in palliative medicine. There is a brand new section on the contributions to palliative care of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, music- , art- and speech- therapists, stoma therapists, clinical pharmacists and clinical psychologists.
Every chapter used in the first two editions has been radically reviewed and brought up to date. A striking new page and cover design reflects the significant changes made in this edition. Like its predecessors, OTPM3 will be the trusted and ultimate reference which no palliative care service or medical library can afford to be without.
