About this title

Review:

The Guidelines alone are worth the cost of the book: they are clearly articulated in plain English, well reasoned and clinically practical. This book should appeal to all who work in palliative care and will be of particular interest to pastoral care workers and others with a special interest in spiritual care. (IAHPC Website )

This is an excellent and accessible collection of essays. I could see it being used both by educators and by palliative care teams, informing a chapter-by-chapter, week-by-week discussion series. (Palliative Medicine, 17 )

When my review copy of this book arrived, it lay on my desk for several weeks before I began to read it seriously. The reason for this is something akin to drinking New World wines - that is, almost all contributions are written by Australians! I expected that the content of its thirteen individual chapters would be a little distant from European or British concerns. I need not have worried. This is possibly the best book on spiritual aspects of palliative care that I have yet come across . . . This book is excellent stuff. Perhaps I'll go and open that bottle of Australian Chardonnay I was given the Christmas before last! (Hospice Information Bulletin )
