Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative Care

The book is well directed, aiming to be helpful to social workers practising as palliative care specialists and to those who have occasional contact with palliative and end-of-life care. The text begins with context-setting chapters that touch upon death and loss in society, the development of palliative and end-of-life care, and the role of social work in the field. These provide an important basis for the rest of the book.
