This book will be the first of its kind to offer intensive conversation analysis on patient-clinician interactions in the context of palliative medicine. The book focuses on a series of individual case studies of conversations that revolve, in each case, around one key critical term that is often evoked or understood differently by clinicians and patients.
'Palliative care conversations profoundly captures the interactional dynamics and situated intricacy of clinician-patient communication in palliative care, which renders the book suitable for not only linguists but also clinical practitioners and policymakers in healthcare.'
