Every clinician who cares for seriously ill patients confronts the same challenge: how to relieve suffering that does not respond to disease-directed treatment, how to have conversations that medicine rarely teaches, and how to support patients and families through the most difficult passage of human life. Palliative Care Textbook is the comprehensive clinical reference built for that work.
This textbook delivers authoritative, practical guidance across the full scope of palliative medicine — from opioid pharmacology and symptom management to goals-of-care communication, advance care planning, hospice operations, and clinician resilience. Every chapter is grounded in current guidelines from the National Consensus Project, AAHPM, ASCO, EAPC, NHPCO, and WHO, and reflects evidence through 2025.
Inside this textbook:
- Pain management — opioid pharmacology, equianalgesic dosing, opioid rotation, methadone, adjuvant analgesics, interventional procedures, and bone pain management
- Symptom control — dyspnea, nausea, malignant bowel obstruction, constipation, cachexia, delirium, depression, anxiety, cancer-related fatigue, insomnia, and wound care
- Communication — SPIKES, REMAP, VALUE, family meeting facilitation, prognostic disclosure, and cross-cultural communication
- Ethics and ACP — advance directives, POLST, decisional capacity, surrogate decision-making, palliative sedation, and medical aid in dying
- Psychosocial and spiritual care — demoralization, Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy, Dignity Therapy, caregiver burden, spiritual assessment, and chaplaincy
- Grief and bereavement — grief theories, Prolonged Grief Disorder (DSM-5-TR), Complicated Grief Treatment, and clinician grief
- Disease-specific care — oncology, heart failure, COPD, renal disease, ALS, dementia, liver disease, and frailty
- Pediatric palliative care — neonatal care, developmental pain assessment, concurrent care, and pediatric hospice
- ICU palliative care — ventilator withdrawal, ICU family meetings, palliative sedation, and organ donation
- Hospice operations — Medicare Hospice Benefit, eligibility, levels of care, IDT coordination, and quality metrics
- End-of-life care — recognizing the dying process, final-hour physiology, comfort nursing, and cultural practices
- Clinician wellbeing — burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, resilience, and career development
Drug dosing includes route, frequency, duration, and organ-impairment adjustments throughout. Communication frameworks include real clinical language. Every chapter cites current authoritative guidelines by name and edition. This is not a pocket guide, and it is not a theoretical treatise — it is the reference that palliative clinicians actually need at the bedside, in the clinic, and in the ICU.
Palliative care has never been more evidence-based, more urgently needed, or more demanding of the clinicians who practice it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
