Jessica Kingsley Publishers Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences: A
Book Synopsis*Highly Commended in the Psychiatry category at the 2012 British Medical Association Book Awards*A near-death experience (NDE) is a phenomenon whereby powerful physical and emotional sensations and visions are experienced by someone who is either close to death or has been declared clinically dead. This is an accessible guide to the theory and evidence underlying the phenomenon of NDEs. With contributions from leading international experts in the field, it provides an overview of the research into NDEs, the nature of NDEs and how they have been experienced around the world, and the physiological, psychological and medical bases of the phenomenon. The book also discusses children's NDEs, NDEs from a religious perspective, the role of light in NDEs, the assessment and management of NDEs, and the future of research into the phenomenon.This essential handbook will provide all those who may encounter someone who has had an NDE with the knowledge and understanding they need, including nurses, doctors, palliative care workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and pastoral workers.Trade Review*Highly Commended in the Psychiatry category of the 2012 BMA Medical Book Awards*'This book is particularly strong on cross-cultural comparisons. It can be warmly recommended.' -- Journal of the Society for Psychical ResearchThis is a truly thought-provoking read. -- The British Journal of Psychiatryit is illustrated throughout by case vignettes from people who have had near-death experiences. This brings the book alive and makes it accessible for non-clinical specialists as well as for those with a more academic interest in the subject. -- The Journal of Health Care ChaplaincyThis book is subtitled "a handbook for clinicians", but it is going to be welcomed by anyone who is seriously interested in the scientific research into NDEs, particularly clergy and those with a pastoral ministry. This is a collection of essays or papers, and this is both a strength and a drawback. For people who wish to look at specific aspects of the research, whether it is to compare NDEs in the East and West, or different cultures, religious affiliations, or those of adults and children, these are topics covered here. -- The SignMaking Sense of Near-Death Experiences is an invaluable resource for clinicians and other health care professionals who need to inform themselves about the nature and profound personal significance of NDEs. Presenting the latest research and clinical findings representing over 30 years of work, leading experts in the field provide a comprehensive and illuminating overview of one of the most important and transformative experiences of modern times, one that has affected many millions of people. For everyone who comes into contact with such people and hopes to help and understand them, this book is a must. -- Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Connecticut, Co-founder and past President of the International Association for Near-Death StudiesUndergraduates, journalists and healthcare providers all point to the need for resources that familiarize and inform about NDEs. Making Sense of Near-Death Experiences offers readers just such a resource. ... [R]eaders will come away from this book with not only an understanding of diverse viewpoints about NDEs but also an awareness of the complexity of the field of near-death studies and an appreciation for the value of continued research in the field. -- From the Foreword by Janice Holden, Editor, Journal of Near Death Studies and Chair, Department of Counseling and Higher Education, University of North Texas, USATable of ContentsForeword by Janice Holden, Editor, Journal of Near Death Studies and Chair, Department of Counseling and Higher Education, University of North Texas, USA.

John Murray Press When Your Child Is Sick: A Guide to Navigating
Book Synopsis'Warm, wise and practical' Cressida Cowell, MBEAn invaluable reference for parents of sick or hospitalised children by an experienced and eminent psychologist. To many parents, it is hard to imagine a more upsetting reality than one where their child is hospitalised, severely sick, or terminally ill. In When Your Child is Sick, psychologist Joanna Breyer distils decades of experience working with sick children and their families into a comprehensive guide for navigating the uncharted and frightening terrain. She provides expert advice to guide them through the hospital setting, at-home care, and long-term outcomes.Breyer's actionable techniques and direct advice will help parents feel more in-control of a circumstance that has upended their life. She alerts parents to key personnel in the hospital, gives dialogue prompts to help parents ask for the help they need, addresses the needs of their other children at home, offers advice on how to best utilise friends and family who want to help, includes stories from other families who have been there, and teaches coping techniques to help both parents and children weather the stress of prolonged illness and even death.When Your Child is Sick is a valuable guide to managing the myriad practical and emotional complications of an impossible situation.Trade ReviewNFAA Book Award Winner -- Gold AwardJoanna Breyer balances profound compassion with pragmatism to provide an extraordinarily valuable guide to the management and care of sick children... This book should be compulsory reading for anyone facing these terrifying conundrums and life-altering decisions. * Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of 'The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer', winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction *[This book] is a wonder. I stand in awe at how comprehensive it is in guiding parents through maintaining confidence and alleviating fear during what can be an extremely challenging experience. A great clinician, [Joanna Breyer] is above all an inspired teacher who provides a treasure trove of advice for those facing the greatest fear parents have-that of losing a child. * David G. Nathan, President/Physician-in-Chief Emeritus, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Boston Children's Hospital; Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School *A compassionate, informative, and clear-eyed guide [that] lights the way for parents of children with cancer [and] provides comfort during a confusing, shocking, and despairing time. * Nancy Goodman, Executive Director, Kids v Cancer *This is definitely the book to read if you have a sick child... also an excellent guide for paediatric medical staff, who will learn working tools that improve the quality of their work and the quality of their patients´ lives. I recommend it without hesitation and wish I´d had it earlier in my professional career. * Maria Die Trill, Ph.D., President, International Psycho-Oncology Society *An incredibly important contribution for families with a child who has a serious illness. * Dr. Michael Yogman, Chief, Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics, Mt. Auburn Hospital, Harvard Medical School *[Breyer] proves to be the expert friend and advocate everyone needs: informative, steady, sympathetic, and - if treatment fails - unflinching at the prospect of loss. * Harvard Magazine *[This book lists] every possible resource that might help parents with meticulous care, but its greatest value may lie in its sympathetic understanding of the psychological problems that arise during this stressful time and how to resolve them. * Joanna Lane *A fantastic book that compassionately and sensitively prepares parents for the emotional and practical demands of caring for a child within the hospital system. * Dr Janie Donnan, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Lead for Paediatric Psychology Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow *

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Integrating Clinical Aromatherapy in Palliative
Book SynopsisBy bridging the gap between conventional medical interventions and complementary approaches using aromatherapy, palliative care nurse and clinical aromatherapist, Carol Rose, demonstrates how an integrated and evidence-based approach can have the most significant impact on quality-of-life in patients with life-limiting illness.Aromatherapy is already a fundamental practice in many palliative care settings but its benefits remain under-researched and under-represented. Each chapter of this book incorporates a person-centred focus to consider the integration of various aromatherapy approaches for a range of end-of-life symptoms, alongside conventional medical options. The specificity of this approach and the emphasis of empowering patients to be involved in the process of choosing oils and applications, allows for improved results in the palliation of common symptoms.Integrating Clinical Aromatherapy in Palliative Care has a foundation in research from the patient's point of view. The result is a fresh perspective that prioritises support of patient choices, skilful communication and individualised care, alongside the judicious use of essential oils and other botanical products. Collectively, aromatherapy can completely reframe holistic care to allow for greater emotional, social and spiritual expression.Trade ReviewThe most authoritative text to date for the specialist aromatherapy world...a detailed, empathetic and dedicated path that stems from a place of rich experience, knowledge and the unwavering determination to keep the patient at the heart of every therapeutic encounter. -- Rhiannon Lewis, International Journal of Clinical AromatherapyCarol Rose carefully constellates within these pages a vital resource of clinical wisdom and compassionate expertise in aromatic palliative care. This labour of love - in terms of both practice and scholarship - is a professional object lesson in contemporary clinical aromatherapy, and will enrich and empower the aromatherapy student and clinical practitioner alike. Unreservedly recommended! -- Gabriel Mojay, Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine and AromatherapyThis holistic, integrative resource needs to be read by every palliative care clinician. Truly inspiring. -- Jenny Coleman RN, cancer support nurse specialistCarol Rose draws on her extensive clinical experience to create a bridge between research and its applications, while keeping the individual's unique narrative at the core of all aromatherapeutic interventions. This beautifully written book transcends symptom management in the clinical domain, and it is grounded in an uncompromisingly holistic philosophy, evident in the inspiring case studies. This book will empower those experiencing cancer and terminal illness, and also their families, loved ones and caregivers, at all stages of their journey and beyond - but most importantly, Carol Rose's words will touch your heart. -- Jennifer Peace Rhind, writer, author and essential oils consultant

Book SynopsisThis book is an accessible, expert guide to incorporating LGBTQIA-inclusive practices into end-of-life care.Trade ReviewThe Handbook of LGBTQIA-Inclusive Hospice and Palliative Care is poignant and practice-changing, weaving together Kimberly Acquaviva’s expertise and her life experience. An essential read for clinicians to help them provide inclusive care for all hospice and palliative care patients, especially LGBTQIA people and their loved ones. -- Holly Yang, president, American Academy of Hospice and Palliative MedicineThis is not just a book, it’s a stepping stone that paves the way for change and champions a revolution in hospice and palliative care. A must-read for hospice and palliative care professionals. -- Dallas Ducar, president and CEO, TranshealthAcquaviva’s heartfelt book on LGBTQIA-inclusive hospice and palliative care not only provides actionable advice for health professionals but also touches the soul. Through messages from the author and her late wife, who battled ovarian cancer, it beautifully illustrates the importance of compassionate, inclusive end-of-life care. A truly transformative read. -- Austin Chiang, founding president, Association for Healthcare Social MediaWithin the pages of this book lies a resounding call to action—a plea for compassion that no healthcare professional should ignore. Having navigated the maze of serious illness and loss as a member of the LGBTQIA community, I can testify to the need for this book. My hope is that it finds its way into the hands of every hospice and palliative care professional so that every member of the LGBTQIA community can receive the high-quality, inclusive care we deserve in our most vulnerable moments. -- Jessica Halem, senior director, Eidos LGBTQ+ Health Initiative, University of Pennsylvania[A] thoughtful manual for care providers that acknowledges a broad variety of perspectives. * Foreword Reviews *What sets the handbook apart from other books for health care providers is that it uses everyday language, not an academic voice, to reach the largest audience. * C-Ville Weekly *Table of ContentsAbout Language in This BookAcknowledgmentsPrefaceIntroduction: From “Special Population” to Inclusion—A Paradigm Shift1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Night Crossing
Book SynopsisThis beautifully illustrated and sensitive storybook is designed to be used therapeutically by professionals and caregivers supporting children with an untreatable illness. With engaging, gentle and colourful illustrations that can be used to prompt conversation, it tells the story of the final journey made by a Boy with a Bear, as the Boy says his goodbyes and comes to terms with his life-ending illness. This book is also available to buy as part of the Therapeutic Fairy Tales pack. Therapeutic Fairy Tales is a series of short modern tales dedicated to exploring challenging life situations that might be faced by young children. Each short story is designed to be used by professionals and caregivers as they use stories therapeutically to support childrenâs mental and emotional health.Other books in the series include: Storybook Manual: Introduction To Working With Storybooks Therapeutically And Creatively The Night Crossing: A Lullaby For Children On Lifeâs Last Journey The Island: For Children With A Parent Living With Depression Designed to be used with children aged 7+, each story has an accompanying online resource, offering therapeutic prompts and creative exercises to support the practitioner. These resources can also be adapted for wider use with siblings and other family members. The Night Crossing - from the Therapeutic Fairy Tales series â is born out of a creative collaboration between Pia Jones and Sarah Pimenta Trade ReviewA sensitive and poignant tale to aid and support children who may be facing an untreatable illness. The Night Crossing can help soften the fear about the journey into the unknown. Hephzibah Kaplan, Art Therapist, Director, London Art Therapy Centre The Night Crossing is so sensitively written, with beautiful illustrations. I found it honest and touching, a sympathetic aid that could be revisited whenever needed. In our experience, children take in as little or as much as they feel comfortable to deal with when they are ready. I also feel this book could help siblings of a child who is very ill and for parents or carers to help gauge other children's questions and emotions.Family member, AnonymousAs children are so naturally at ease with metaphor, I imagine The Night Crossing could answer some of the unspoken fears of a child and families at this time with honesty and kindness. It acknowledges the wisdom of the child who in his heart knows what is happening. I would also hope that this story could open up the possibility of conversations between parent and child. A touching and sensitive work, with beautiful illustrations. Anna Ledgard, Arts Producer, End of Life doula trainerA sensitively written and delightfully illustrated book that provides support and comfort to both a seriously ill child or siblings. The Night Crossing provides a safe space for parents and professionals to explore the fears and emotions a child may experience but also provides the opportunity for a child to ask difficult questions. Janey Treharne, from Jigsaw (South East)This book has done something very beautiful and reassuring with a very difficult topic.

It’s a worthy addition to anyone’s collection and deserves to succeed.” (Nursing Times, 31 July 2012) “This book offers valuable insight into what it is like to care for a child or young person who is dying . . .

Jessica Kingsley Publishers The Creative Arts in Palliative Care
Book SynopsisUse of the arts in palliative care settings is a powerful and effective way of addressing the practical, psychological, social and spiritual issues faced by service users in end-of-life care.The Creative Arts in Palliative Care uncovers the possibilities for using the creative arts and provides guidance on how to implement arts projects successfully. Part 1 focuses on designing objectives for the creative arts in palliative care - such as self-fulfilment, social participation, diversion from pain and other common symptoms - and managing creative arts services. Part 2 demonstrates the theory and principles in practice, with detailed case studies: each chapter draws on a real-life project, the approaches it employed and the outcomes achieved.This book will be essential reading for healthcare professionals, arts practitioners and all those involved in providing palliative care services.Trade Review`The book is a brave and sensible move by Hartley and Payne. Brave, in encouraging more "group think" from professions often in conflict regarding issues of funding or professional boundaries. Sensible, because the common ground for these professions, creativity, has so much to offer palliative care: a book of this kind has long been needed to celebrate and promote the potential of the work these professions do.' -- British Journal of Music Therapy, Julian O'Kelly, day hospice manager and music therapists at the Princess Alice Hospice, Esher, Surrey, UK`This book would be useful to those who are hoping to establish creative arts practices in this field in a range of locations, and would be of particular help to those who may be managing such projects and who fell they have little or no experience or expertise in this field.` -- hospice information bulletin, Kate Powis, lecturer and researcher at St Helena Hospice, ColchesterI highly recommend this book to anyone involved in palliative care: administrators, nurses, social workers, caregivers, families, creative artists, therapists, and students...This book is moving, practical, and inspiring to all those dealing with chronic illness, pain, death, and dying. -- Art TherapyThis book was incredibly informative. It strove to inform, inspire and educate 'artists' to work in palliative care, and gave the tools and strategies to us for success... I recommend this book to any creative arts therapists who wish to work in palliative care, or want to brush up on some strategies for wearing their 'business hats' and increasing their practice hours. -- Canadian Art Therapy Association JournalThis book provides a credible and informative account of the contribution of the creative arts in palliative care. It is an accessible read for those with experience in this field, and will be of interest to people studying therapeutic media beyond standard medical approaches in a palliative care context, as well as those keen to explore and understand more about the life-affirming and life-enhancing potential of creative art. -- Writing in EducationThis book is an invaluable starting point, and hopefully a catalyst for more of the kind, bridging the gap between the paucity of literature and the richness of opportunities that the creative arts offer for personal transformation, increased well-being and social inclusion in palliative care. -- European Journal of Palliative CareThe Creative Arts in Palliative Care is a forward-thinking text which integrates management, treatment and community building aspects of creative arts in palliative care. I highly recommend The Creative Arts in Palliative Care. This book is a must read for artists, therapists, volunteers, managers and directors who specialize in working with patients and caregivers who are facing end of life. -- Nordic Journal of Music TherapyThis book is a valuable resource giving information in a collection of articles that, taken together, support the justification for including creative arts in the services offered to those who are facing the end of life. -- Journal of Palliative CareTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Pathways through Care at the End of Life: A Guide
Book SynopsisAs someone approaches the end of their life, it is vitally important that they receive quality care and support, that their wishes are met, and that they are treated with dignity and respect. Pathways through Care at the End of Life is a comprehensive guide to providing excellent, person-centred end of life care. Following a pathway from initial conversations about end of life to care in the last days of life and after death, it covers assessing need and planning care, co-ordinating care between different agencies, and ensuring quality in different settings, such as at home, in a hospice, or in hospital. Good practice guidance on communication, ensuring the person's needs are met, support for their family and how to facilitate a good death is given. Case studies illustrate real life practice, and questions throughout each chapter encourage reflective practice. This book will be essential reading for all those working with people at the end of life, such as nurses, social workers, GPs and home carers, as well as students in these fields.Trade ReviewThis book draws on the rich experience and combined expertise of the authors to offer a resource for all those supporting people on their end of life pathway…[G]lobally we find a remarkable consistency across cultures of what people want when they are dying. They want care which manages distressing symptoms in the most effective way; they want to be treated with compassion, dignity and respect; they want to have the opportunity to set their affairs in order and to be surrounded by those people who are important to them. The implication of meeting those needs, as the core message of this book proclaims, is that end of life care is everybody's business. -- From the Foreword by Professor Sir Mike Richards, Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Care Quality Commission, UKThis clearly written and comprehensive book will be a valuable source of information and resource for any professional or student interested in improving the practical delivery of end of life care. It describes the methodologies, development and successes of the ground breaking national strategy for End of Life Care launched in England in 2008. The material is brought to life with case studies and best practice examples and reflection is encouraged through the use of 'stop and think' questions. -- Barbara Monroe, Chief Executive, St Christopher's Hospice, UKThis book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, research-based account of multi-professional practice in end-of-life care from different professional perspectives. Its authoritative knowledge base relies on the work of the National End of Life Care Programme in England's Department of Health over several years. Its strong focus on flexible, holistic quality of care will make it valuable for specialist and general practitioners in hospital and community health and social care services. -- Malcolm Payne, consultant in social work and end-of-life care and author of Social Work in End-of-Life and Palliative CareThis book elegantly captures how the relatively new focus on 'end of life care' provides a conceptual framework with which to think in a different way about meeting these new needs and has led to change on a wide front…Readers can find interesting synopses of interdisciplinary perspectives on death, dying and epidemiological transition, together with up to date advice about best practice in care planning, communication and coordination of services; all set out in a highly accessible manner. In their discussions, the authors do not shy away from delineating new challenges ahead that will require all of us to work together to continue to transform end of life care so that it better meets the needs of all those facing death, whatever their age or diagnosis, and wherever they are cared for. -- Jane Seymour, Sue Ryder Care Professor of Palliative and End of Life Studies, University of Nottingham, UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements. 1.

Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive account of the psychology of death and bereavement, which places the subject within the contexts of the major world religions and their associated mourning and funeral customs. Clearly written, well referenced and carefully organized, the book examines the thinking of Freud and Jung and of modern psychiatrists, and also discusses those aspects of death - bereavement visions, euthanasia, grief for a pet and suicide - which are not covered elsewhere.The second edition has enabled the contents to be updated and enlarged.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Nursing Support for Families of Dying Patients
Book SynopsisWhen a patient has an advanced disease, considerable demands are placed on the whole family. Whilst coping with their own profound emotions, close relatives commonly have to support their loved ones through a range of treatments as the disease progresses through stages of remission and recurrence, until finally, a shift to a palliative mode of treatment must be faced. In such situations, family roles and relationships are likely to be disrupted and family members? coping resources can be stretched to the limit. It is clear from this that by the time the terminal stage of the patient?s illness is reached, the family may have travelled a long and difficult road, and close relatives are likely to be emotionally vulnerable and in need of support.This study explores the needs of relatives of terminally ill patients and the concerns of nurses who provide care in the hospital. The research data is used to design, implement and evaluate clinical standards for improved family support.Table of ContentsIntroduction. Literature Review. Theoretical Framework.

Book SynopsisRiveting in their emotional clarity and utterly jargon free, these 30 stories from real life penetrate how we grieve and how we can help those who grieve- whether the griever is oneself, someone we care about, or a client or patient. Lynne Dale Halamish, an internationally respected grief counsellor with more than 20 years'' experience, and Doron Hermoni, a family physician, researcher, and educator, present vignettes from practice that show how death- lingering, unexpected, violent, or self-inflicted- and the loss of a relationship- to oneself or with a child, sibling, parent, mate, grandparent, or friend- give life to grief, together with the process by which each person fully encounters his or her grief. Each story is no more than two or three pages, and the authors follow each one with a short summary of its teachings and a selection of annotated recent references for those who wish to read more about a topic.

Oxford University Press The Syringe Driver
Book SynopsisThe syringe driver is a simple and cost-effective method of delivering a continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSCI). A CSCI provides a safe and effective way of drug administration and can be used to maintain symptom control in patients who are no longer able to take oral medication. There have been several developments in this field since the third edition of this highly successful book. The text in this edition has been completely revised, incorporating new treatment options and an extensive list of new compatibility data. This book serves as a valuable reference source, providing comprehensive review of syringe driver use and administration of drugs by CSCI. The first chapter provides an overview of syringe drivers and CSCIs, including a useful array of frequently asked questions. The second chapter provides information about the chemistry of drug incompatibility and degradation. The third chapter comprises revised and referenced information relating to most drugs likely to be administTrade ReviewAndrew Dickman and Jennifer Schneider [have] produced a well-written, well-referenced, and efficient treatment of the modern syringe driver for subcutaneous infusions as used in palliative care. Importantly and distinctively, the authors combined laboratory data with clinical observations to produce both a useable and practical text. This book serves well as a reference for any medical professional who commonly or uncommonly interacts with, orders, or adjusts syringe drivers with drugs for CSCI, even if not for use in palliative care. * R. Ryan Field, Anesthesia & Analgesia *... an important addition to the bookshelf of any palliative care clinician, nursing or medical, whose patients require continuous subcutaneous infusion. * John Haberecht, Director of Learning & Development, Centre for Palliative Care Research and Education *This book should be available in any hospice or palliative care service where CSCIs are used, which probably means nearly all of them. * IAHPC, Roger Woodruff *Table of ContentsLIST OF ABBREVIATIONS

Kissane and Sidney Bloch this book has been eagerly awaited. Their work is a logical development in the field of Palliative Care in which it has long been recognized that, when life is threatened, it is the family (which includes the patient) which is, or ought to be, the unit of care.The work also has great relevance for the wider field of bereavement care...all who work to help families at times of death and bereavement will find much to learn from this book which represents a useful addition to our understanding of the losses which, sooner or later, we all have to face." - Colin Murray Parkes Family members are often intimately involved in the care of dying people and themselves require support through both their experience of palliative care and bereavement.

Pari Publishing The Way We Die: Brain Death, Vegetative State,
Book SynopsisRapid advances in modern medicine and diagnostic techniques have revolutionized the way we think about death and the processes of dying. Where once death was defined as the absence of respiration or heartbeat, today patients can be kept alive for months or even years hooked up to a respirator and feeding tube. Ivan and Melrose carefully explain the various medical processes involved in death and dying. In so doing they also face the many ethical, moral and legal dilemmas that confront doctors today, as well as the decisions that may have to be taken by relatives. What, they ask, is the meaning of "life" when large areas of a person's brain have suffered irreversible damage? And what of the economic quandary when valuable hospital beds are occupied by people in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery?Table of ContentsHistory of the definitions of death Coma Persistent vegetative state The "Do not resuscitate" order Brain death Harvesting and transplanting organs Dying with dignity and palliative care The living will The right to die Euthanasia and assisted suicide Near-death experiences Life after death?

Random House USA Inc The InBetween
Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Passionate advocate for end-of-life care and TikTok star Hadley Vlahos shares moving stories of joy, wisdom, and redemption from her patients’ final moments in this “brilliant” (Zibby Owens, Good Morning America) memoir. “This extraordinary book helps dispel fear around death and dying—revealing it to be a natural part of our soul’s evolution.”—Laura Lynne Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Signs and The Light Between UsTalking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die. Vlahos was raised in a strict religious household, but began questioning her beliefs in high school after the sudden death of a friend. When she got pregnant at nineteen, she was shunned by her community and enrolled herself in nursing school to be able to support herself and her baby. But nursing soon became more than a job: when she focused on palliative care and hospice work, it became a calling. In The In-Between, Vlahos recounts the most impactful experiences she’s had with the people she’s worked with—from the woman who never once questioned her faith until she was close to death, to the older man seeing visions of his late daughter, to the young patient who laments that she spent too much of her short life worrying about what others thought of her—while also sharing her own fascinating journey. Written with profound insight, humility, and respect, The In-Between is a heartrending memoir that shows how caring for others can transform a life while also offering wisdom and comfort for those dealing with loss and providing inspiration for how to live now.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Chaplaincy in Hospice and Palliative Care
Book SynopsisHospice chaplains have traditionally played a unique part in palliative care, providing human compassion and support to help ease life's final chapter. This book thoughtfully tackles the question at the heart of modern hospice chaplaincy: do chaplains have a distinctive role in an increasingly secular society?A comprehensive look at why and how this work needs to be done, each chapter will be a rich resource for hospice chaplains and anyone working within a hospice multi-disciplinary team. Taking the form of reflections by chaplains and other professionals, they examine the tension between sacred and secular space, explore how spiritual care works in a changing society, and look at what voice a chaplain has within the hospice team.Essential reading for chaplains, this insightful book reflects on the important work undertaken by hospice chaplaincies and explains why they continue to be a vital resource for end-of-life care.Trade ReviewThis book explores the chaplain's unique role and the privilege of being involved in the lives of those who approach death. Varied contributors helpfully probe the inner life of the chaplain and her relationships with staff and volunteers. It explores the changing role of the hospice chaplain, but has great relevance for all involved in End of Life care. I wholeheartedly commend it to all who have an interest in healthcare chaplaincy. -- Revd Mark Burleigh, Head of Chaplaincy & Bereavement Services, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust and President, College of Health Care ChaplainsChallenged by the exigencies of health economies and the demands of secularists, chaplaincy is in transition. The diverse voices brought together by Murphy and Whorton speak to that transition with harmony and clarity about the 'traditional' values that shape chaplaincy identity and care, and that determine the distinctive contribution chaplains make to multi-professional team working. -- Revd Dr Steve Nolan, Princess Alice Hospice, Esher, and The University of WinchesterFifty years after Dame Cicely Saunders founded the first modern hospice in 1967, this book is a timely and fitting tribute to her legacy. It consists of a series of reflections by chaplains and allied professionals, and is packed with inspiration, experience, and good practice. -- Revd Ann Fulton, Spiritual Care Co-ordinator for St Margaret's Hospice, Somerset * Church Times *Anyone who is involved in hospice work, or anyone working with people who are ill and lost, will find much in this book which is of value. -- The Revd John Lampard * Methodist Recorder *Table of ContentsForeword by Baroness Finlay of Llandaff.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers On Death, Dying and Not Dying
Book SynopsisIn June 2000 Peter Houghton, a counselor in palliative care, was weeks from death due to cardiomyopathy. He had made his preparations and had said most of his good-byes. Then he was offered the chance to participate in a clinical trial. Six months later he was not only still alive, but planning a long distance walk for charity and writing this book about his experiences.With humor and honesty, his story chronicles the uneven path back from the brink of death. Combining knowledge drawn from his counseling work with other dying people and his unique personal experience, he describes what dying really feels like and explains the physical processes it involves. He also raises profound questions about medical trials and palliative care, and especially about our attitudes to life and death, and the way we approach death.Trade ReviewDrawing upon his extensive professional experience as a counselor in palliative care, Houghton raises many profound questions in each of the areas he discusses, and is not afraid to admit his own previous misconceptions…this is a book that contributes significantly to our knowledge of the natural dying process. -- Journal of Beliefs and ValuesTo me, the strength of the book was about its ability to refocus and question the care provided, as a recipient rather than a provider. This presented me with some thought-provoking questioning and reasoning induced in my own reflective practice. -- British Journal of Occupational TherapyPeter Houghton gives us an education on the process of dying and death itself. He witnesses dying and death from the outside as a counselor in palliative care and observing those who were dying, their death and their carers. He then through his own seemingly terminal illness, experienced the process first hand, to the point of death. Then as a participant in a new clinical trial he was given a return to life.With humour and honesty he relays his own bumpy path on moving towards death and back from the brink, together with his counseling work with other peoples' dying processes. He gives an in-depth picture of the physical deterioration processes of the body and resultant physical pain leading to death, also detailing the medical processes involved. Equally well described is what it feels like: the psychological processes and emotional pain, through the stages of denial, anger and hopelessness to acceptance and transformation. -- Towards WholenessWith great honesty, sensitivity and humor Peter Houghton has chronicled and reflected upon his physical, mental and spiritual journey, which was far from being without set backs and deep self-questioning... This is a deep and challenging book and offers a rewarding read. -- PlusPeter Houghton had been a counselor in palliative care, Then he experienced what appeared to be a mild heart attack but which turned out to be cardiomyopathy, a chronic disorder affecting the muscle of the heart. Although drugs could control his condition to some extent, slowly, imperceptibly, it worsened until he was weeks from death. At the 11th hour, a doctor friend read a notice of a clinical trial of the Jarvik Heart Assist Device for end stage cardiomyopathy patients, which led to a pioneering operation to install a pump to take over the failing left ventricle of Peter's heart. I was eager to read Peter's resulting book because of the probably unique set of experiences he brought to the writing of it. Not only had he no doubt derived many insights from working for many years with dying patients but also he had actually experienced the final stages of dying himself-yet was able to report back on that experience. As someone who has cared for a dying relative and worked as a volunteer in a hospice, I was hoping to learn something from Peter's account. I did indeed learn much from it…Houghton personally is still struggling to make sense of his restored life and the renewal of his relationships. At 60 he doesn't want to return to work, and he never wants to counsel a dying person again. Unsure why, he suggests that it might be because of having seen the things from the perspective of the counseled. That is a particularly salutary reflection to take away from this book -- Human GivensIn On Death, Dying and Not Dying, Peter Houghton tells his own story. A palliative care counselor, he was given weeks to live. This book tells how he prepared for dying, until a new clinical trial gave him his life back. In the midst of this moving tale, there is much useful information. -- Church TimesThis book is appropriate for the general public as well as students and clinicians. The author has a conversational style of writing that is both easy to read and refreshing. The insight he is able to offer is unique. He identifies not only his emotions during subsequent events, but is able to link these to appropriate interventions that clinicians can make.Perhaps the most intriguing feature of this book is the connection the author is able to make with the reader. Although the subject matter is difficult, the style in which the information is presented places appropriate emphasis on the emotional and technical aspects.Although this topic is not new, this is the only book that provides clinicians with an insight into a patients experience while also providing direction for clinical practice. -- Lisa Stepp PhD, RN, APN, AOCN, CRNH (Private Practice)This book was written after his surgery, although it has much more than a simple account of his recovery and subsequent events. As a counselor in palliative care, he has experience and knowledge of death and the dying process; much of the book is taken up his thoughts on the subject, illustrated with various anecdotes. He also describes the actual process of dying, and outlines treatment strategies for symptom control. -- Bulletin of Medical EthicsTable of ContentsPreface. 1. My Own Story. 2.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Multifaith Care for Sick and Dying Children and
Book SynopsisWhat do you need to know in order to provide the best possible care for sick children of different faiths? What, in the context of the young person's faith, might it be helpful to know to support the child and the family, improve care, communicate sensitively and avoid causing offence? Drawing on extensive, evidence-based research and practice, this practical resource addresses the multi-faith needs of sick and dying children and young people in hospitals and the wider community. Covering Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism, it provides the key information needed to help multi-disciplinary healthcare staff offer the best, culturally-appropriate care to sick children and their families. The book discusses daily, palliative, end of life and bereavement care in a range of settings, including hospitals, hospices, schools and home. The information provided covers those aspects of the religions discussed that are essential for healthcare staff to understand, including modesty and hygiene, taboos, food and prohibited products, age-related issues, sacred objects, visitors, and the expectations of the family. It includes important information on the issues of disability and mental health in each faith as well as addressing the significance within different faith traditions of the transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. A comprehensive resource that uniquely focuses on the care needs of sick children from different faiths, this book will be of immeasurable value to multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, bereavement support and palliative care workers, carers, counsellors, chaplains and arts therapists.Trade Review...I was left a little in awe at what these people were managing to do. I was pleased to see Nash's statement that his team's work was not in the interests of some multicultural political correctness, but because they believed their paediatric patients and their families would get better care. This book has got a lot to offer anybody who works in palliative care in a multifaith setting, not just the chaplaincy team. -- Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care NewsletterThe book is full of cultural and religious helps that concern the entire healthcare treatment team from routine care to palliative and end-of-life care...the book is truly a resource for all bedside clinicians, including professional chaplains, nursing, medicine and other therapeutic specialty clinicians, too. Each chapter focuses on care for a child and family from each of the faith traditions. A Buddhist mother's reflection on spiritual and religious care needs during the premature birth of her twins was particularly enlightening and informative. Then in the final chapter, Paul Nash does a nice job of highlighting spiritual assessment tools and setting up spiritual care that is reflective of pathway care. This book will help new chaplains and seasoned chaplains who need a thorough resource and guide for pediatric palliative and end-of-life care, and the care preceding those difficult and trying times. -- George M. Rossi MA MDiv BCC, clinical chaplain, Pastoral Care Services, Medical University of South Carolina * APC Forum, Association of Professional Chaplains *This is a well written book that is easy to refer to when needed and can be used by any level of chaplain or health care professional. Having been a chaplain for several years and worked and specialized in paediatric settings I found this book refreshing, educational and both uplifting and encouraging. I know I will be re-reading it again and again in my work. -- Revd Philip Wright * Health and Social Care Chaplaincy, Issue 4.1 (June) 2016 *Table of ContentsIntroduction. Revd.
