Johns Hopkins University Press Living Well with a Serious Illness
Book SynopsisA practical guide for understanding how palliative care can improve quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Robin Bennett Kanarek was a registered nurse working with patients suffering from chronic medical conditions when her ten-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. As her son endured grueling treatments, Robin realized how often medical professionals overlook critical psychological, emotional, and spiritual support for people with life-threatening illnesses. Living Well with a Serious Illness is the culmination of decades of Robin's work to advance the field of palliative care. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys. Living Well with a Serious Illness helps patients and their caregivers understand what palliative care entails how to access the support they need when going through a serious illness what questions Table of ContentsForeword by Sunita Puri, MDIntroduction: David's Story1.

Designed for a wide and multi-disciplinary audience, the subjects covered range from theoretical to the clinical and the practically relevant, and all chapters include case studies that provide real-world scenarios as additional teaching tools for the reader.Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is divided into four sections.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Dying Patient in Psychotherapy
Book SynopsisThe Dying Patient in Psychotherapy is a powerful account of love and death within a psychotherapeutic relationship. The narrative traces one man's journey in psychotherapy and that of the analyst who accompanies him. The full-length description of an analysis demonstrates the developmental path of an erotic transference from its origins in infancy, through fantasies of sex and violence to mature erotic intimacy. The countertransference is considered with exceptional honesty as the analysis intensifies following the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. A series of dreams rich in symbolic imagery traces the psychological situation as death approaches. A precursor to Schaverien's acclaimed book Boarding School Syndrome, the single case study demonstrates the enduring impact of early boarding. This second edition also includes an updated literature review, and new material regarding training and supervision, making it a valuable resource for training inTrade Review"The author is a wonderful story teller and the journey she describes is an excellent representation of the experiences of a psychoanalyst working effectively with a dying patient. She captures the challenges of this special analytic situation and describes the counter transferences that treating a dying patient elicits exceptionally well. She recommends supervision to aid the analyst with the problematic counter transference reactions. She also recommends flexibility with regard to the analytic frame and a focus on the here and now of the patient’s struggle to live. Finally she permits the relationship to become more real by revealing more about her reactions to the work but with great care not to burden the patient with her grief." Norman Straker MD, DLFAPA, Clinical Professor Weill Cornell Department of Psychiatry, Consultant at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center"This…excellent book…combines in a unique way theoretical issues, clinical insights, analytic technique, therapeutic skills in the context of a most moving and human story of life, love and death. This book is the finest example of Joy Schaverien’s characteristic style of writing which includes all these facets of an analytical encounter in a touching and most readable way."Professor Renos Papadopoulos, Jungian psychoanalyst, University of Essex and Tavistock clinic"A detailed account of a successful psychoanalysis with a dying patient… Because death is an extreme event that brings all of life into focus, Dr Schaverien’s examples of transference and dream interpretations reach far beyond the case she recounts. I recommend this book to any psychotherapist who wants to understand the therapeutic uses of the erotic transference."Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD, author of Women and Desire, editor of The Cambridge Companion to Jung"Once again, Joy Schaverien has provided a brilliant combination of a rarely discussed subject, the case of a dying patient in psychoanalysis, together with an in depth examination and commentary of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Joy includes exploration and analysis of dreams, a Jungian perspective, throughout the analysis. Her valuable modern up-dated theories of boarding school trauma, and of course her expertise on countertransference and erotic transference. This 2nd edition surpasses the first in all respects and will appeal to experienced practitioners, trainees from many professions and populations, and participants in therapy."Professor Helen Odell-Miller OBE, PhD, Director of The Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research Anglia Ruskin UniversityReviews from the first edition"The importance of this book lies in bringing work with the dying into the mainstream of our work ... This humane and careful text is a tribute to the courage of both Schaverien and [the client] and a gift for the reader."Jeremy Weinstein, BACP-registered trainer, UKCP Gestalt psychotherapist: Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal'"... Joy Schaverien has risked having her heart … as well as her technique and intellect, open for scrutiny in a way that is both brave and inspiring ... One of the most instructive aspects of this book is that it enables the reader to enter into a detailed account of the management of an intense, at times merged, involvement with a patient, whilst being provided with intermittent glimpses of how the analyst's mind is working, how she is building her frame, and patrolling the boundaries ... The book is well structured. Its clear chapter headings and sub-headings, as well as a chronological list of the patient's dreams, are containing and form a useful reference guide.'"Hilary Lester, Training Analyst with the Society of Analytical Psychology: Journal of Analytical Psychology"In this book Joy Schaverien has given us one of the most moving accounts of an analysis that I have encountered ... she demonstrates a considerable gift for explaining the analytical process in terms that are accessible to the well-educated lay person in a way that does not detract from the account for the professional clinician ... I found the dream material and the way in which it was presented particularly moving and thought-provoking. I liked the way in which each dream was presented in its own right and the reader was given the opportunity to think about it, before encountering the patient's associations and the analyst's comments ... The book from first to last chapter contains a deeply moving and sensitive account of the analyst's inner process of holding the analytical frame in the most adverse of circumstances... this is a book, that …should not be missed."Margaret Wilkinson, retired Training Analyst with the Society of Analytical Psychology, Author of Coming into Mind: Journal of the West Midlands Institute of PsychotherapyTable of ContentsPart 1: 1.

Shambhala Publications Inc Contemplative Caregiving: Finding Healing,
Book SynopsisIntegrating two decades of hospice care and social science research, this heartfelt book offers practical lessons on the transformative possibilities of end-of-life caregiving. Contemplative Caregiving is an indispensable guide for end-of-life caregivers and for anyone seeking to transform experiences of caregiving and grief. Rather than leading to burnout and despair, caring for those who are suffering and dying can enrich our lives with meaning and further our own spiritual growth and resilience. Whether you are caring for a loved one with cancer or dementia, grieving a sudden traumatic loss, or even serving time in prison, Contemplative Caregiving offers encouragement for showing up to the fullness of life in whatever those circumstances may be. Healing, compassion, and spiritual growth are available to us all, in this lifetime, right now. Baugher’s unique style of integrating social scientific research on caregiving and grief with teachings from Buddhist, contemplative Christian, and other wisdom traditions illuminates how we each can transform experiences of loss and suffering into a path of compassion. Contemplative Caregiving weaves together powerful stories from interviews with diverse hospice caregivers—Vietnam veterans, nurses, housewives, Catholic nuns, those convicted of murder—with the author’s own journey toward wholeness in the face of grief and traumatic loss, including the murder of his own mother. Through rich storytelling, teachings on compassion, and skillful contemplative exercises, Baugher invites you to join him in exploring the healing power of contemplative caregiving.

Peeters Publishers Euthanasia and Palliative Care in the Low
Book SynopsisBelgium and the Netherlands - the Low Countries - are the first countries in the world to have legalized euthanasia. Physicians who terminate life at the patient's request no longer have to fear criminal prosecution. However, end-of-life legislation in the Low Countries has provoked diverse responses and sparked vigorous and divisive ethical debate. For some, the new legislation has become a shining example; for others it is a lamentable materialization of a culture of death. A"Euthanasia and Palliative Care in the Low CountriesA" provides an overview and comparison of the legal specifics of the Belgian and Dutch Euthanasia Acts, a discussion of palliative care initiatives and an ethical examination of the new legislation. In addition, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the arguments used in the end-of-life debate and a critical examination of the positions taken by the churches. The book concludes with an overview of how Christian health-care institutions accommodate to this new legal situation.
