Speaking of Dying

A Practical Guide to Using Counselling Skills in Palliative Care

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Good counseling skills are often not taught to the professionals who need them most. Compassionate and tactful communication skills can make the difference between an awkward encounter with a dying patient, and an engaging, empathic bond between two people. Louis Heyse-Moore draws on his wealth of experience as a trained counselor and palliative medicine specialist. Covering difficult subjects such as breaking the news of terminal illness to a patient, euthanasia and the effect of working with patients on caregivers, Speaking of Dying is a practical guide to using counseling skills for all clinical disciplines working in palliative care, whether in a hospice, hospital or at home. Complete with a clear explanation of both counseling and medical terminology, this hands-on guide will be an invaluable companion to anyone working in palliative care.
