A Physician's Guide to Coping with Death and Dying

In "A Physician's Guide to Coping with Death and Dying" Jan Swanson and Alan Cooper, a physician and a clinical psychologist with many years of experience, offer insights to help medical students, residents, physicians, nurses, and others become more aware of the different stages in the dying process and learn how to communicate more effectively with patients and their families. They also discuss the ways physicians and other caregivers can learn to reduce their own stress levels and avoid the risk of burnout, allowing them to achieve balance in their lives and be more effective professionally.

The urge to use alcohol or other drugs can be triggered by many factors, including work-related stress, family problems, mental health disorders, physical pain, and social or environmental events. Any one of these risk factors can set off a relapse.Based on G. Alan Marlatt's widely used, evidence-based protocols, The Relapse Prevention Program (formerly titled Relapse Prevention Skills: Helping Clients Address High-Risk Factors) helps clients identify high-risk situations, work on responses and coping skills, and explore lifestyle factors that may increase vulnerability. By following this model, clinicians can customize a program based on each client's unique needs and minimise the risk of relapse.Ideal for use in a variety of settings, this nine-unit program can be used in either individual or group sessions. It can be used as a stand-alone program or as a supplement to an existing program. This program includes a facilitator guide, client guides and worksheets on a CD-ROM, and a video that demonstrates successful ways to address common and critical risk factors that can lead to relapse.
