Rezensionen

From the reviews: "Those responsible for actually delivering treatment and care near the end of life, a group of health care practitioners that extends beyond the new specialty of palliative care, must participate in the evolving paradigm of palliative medicine. Whether one is just beginning the journey or well along the way, this book will make a good traveling companion." Robert L. Fine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 298 (14), 2007 "Somewhat alarming statistic sets the scene for a serious discussion about the delivery of palliative care in the future. ... Most of the contributors to this book seem to be clinicians, which gives it a very practical, clinical slant. The book is both thorough and thought-provoking and should be required reading for anybody involved in planning the future development of palliative care." (International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care, Vol. 9 (4), 2008) "A multiauthored survey of selected topics related to contemporary palliative care in the United States. ... Recommended Readership: Palliative care clinicians and program administrators." (John H. Davidson, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Vol. 82 (9), September, 2007)
