| Title: | Handbook of psychiatry in palliative medicine. 1st ed |
| Abstract: | (from the jacket) This textbook focuses on psychiatric issues in end-of-life care, offering a comprehensive overview of psychiatric complications of terminal illness. Topics covered include diagnosis and management of depression, suicide, pain management, the nature of suffering, and psychotherapeutic interventions. The book also takes into consideration new directions for psychosocial palliative care research. Emotional sources of suffering among the dying cannot be treated in isolation, and this handbook provides practitioners with additional context, such as an overview of physical symptom management for the mental health professional, ethical issues, and the role of spiritual issues in palliative care.
