Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. Sunned spine to D/J. This is the first in a series of books on the management of cancer, each providing a summary of the management techniques as practised by radiotherapists, chemothera[ists, surgeons and immunotherapists. This book covers a subject which has expanded rapidly in the last fifteen years. At present there is virtually no literature available, written from clinical experiences, to balance the enormous amount of material provided opn the psycho-social aspects. In addition there is a great lack of information concerning relevant therapeutics. The contributors have practical experience in this field, many of them working exclusively in this comparatively unexplored area. There have been requests for a book of this kind from many sources. Here, then, in one volume, is information which will enable a doctor, and other workers, to approach the physical mental, social and spiritual problems of dying patients and their families with some confidence. 210 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Cicely Saunders is universally acclaimed as a pioneer of modern hospice care. Trained initially in nursing and social work, she qualified in medicine in 1958 and subsequently dedicated the whole of her professional life to improving the care of the dying and bereaved people. Founding St Christopher's Hospice in London in 1967, she encouraged a radical new approach to end of life care combining attention to physical, social, emotional and spiritual problems, brilliantly captured in her concept of 'total pain'. Her ideas about clinical care, education and research have been hugely influential, leading to numerous prizes and awards in recognition of her humanitarian achievements. This book includes a selection of Cicely Saunders' most important writings throughout a period of over forty years.Full articles, chapters, editorials, reviews, and commentaries include important clinical themes relating to the care of dying people such as pain and symptom management, issues of communication and truth telling, and the needs of particular patient groups, such as those with cancer and other diseases. The book includes pieces that reflect on the wider development of the palliative care field and on policy and organisational issues. Some of the papers take up the theme of spiritual care at the end of life, as well as the question of euthanasia, raising in turn issues of a wider theological and philosophical nature.The articles are written for a multi-disciplinary audience and will be of enormous interest to many professionals now working in palliative care. The collection will become a key work of reference for those interested in the evolution of hospice and palliative care and will serve as an important sourcebook of many currently hard to obtain publications by the acknowledged founder of the modern hospice movement. This book will also stand as a remarkable testimony to the personal contribution of Cicely Saunders and the influence she has had upon the modern field of palliative and end of life care.
