Abstract

The present volume, looking at the whole field of the multidisciplinary specialty of palliative medicine, addresses aspects of this problem and, importantly, shows how appropriate treatment before a patient can rightly be termed "dying" can make a radical difference to his or her life and death. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)This second edition introduces new chapters to make it more comprehensive. The increasingly important contribution of interventional radiology has been recognized, as have the subjects of audit/economic in palliative medicine, and AIDS in children. A new chapter is devoted to pruritus and sweating, another to pain assessment, and another to pharmacological aspects of palliative medicine. The section on cultural issues has been expanded, and a new chapter has been introduced on ethical issues in pediatric palliative medicine.
