These challenges are addressed by leading international palliative care and hospice scholars under three main domains: care delivery systems; addressing the many dimensions of suffering; and difficult decisions near the end of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a very good read, not just for professionals working in the field, but for other disciplines, who would like to know more about the origins of palliative care and its relationship to other disciplines. * Christin Bird, The Australian Pain Society *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a good synopsis of the range of ethical issues encountered in palliative care, including the delivery of services, patient suffering and physician-assisted dying. * Dr. Roger Woodruff, IAHPC Book Reviews *\u003cbr\u003eWhile there is not a standard format imposed on each chapter, the contributors often use clinical cases to illustrate the related ethical challenges. The attention to both breadth and depth of these issues contributes to the book's relevance. ... In addition to practitioners of palliative care, students in health-related fields or those with an interest in bioethics might find this book relevant. * Doody's Health Sciences Book Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis outstanding essay collection, edited by Quill and Miller, provides a survey of the clinical and ethical dilemmas clinicians face in palliative care contexts, mainly, but not exclusively, at life's end. The volume helpfully provides perspectives from the diverse disciplines represented in a contemporary palliative care team, general physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, etc. and the diverse locations in which palliative care takes place, from in-home hospice to inpatient hospital settings. The book treats the major ethical topics that arise in most clinical contexts; this includes issues related to pediatric cases, and also shared decision making and substituted judgment. [B]ecause of the clinical chapters, the book is best suited for health sciences libraries and professional programs in medicine and nursing. Highly recommended. * A. W.
