Family Focused Grief Therapy: A Model of Family-Centred Care During Palliative Care and Bereavement (Facing Death)

Kissane and Bloch (both of the Department of Psychiatry, U. of Melbourne, Australia) describe how therapists can support families as they react to the experience of the palliative care of a relative and bereavement. The approach promotes the active involvement of the family in clinical care. The chapters take the reader through the therapy process of identifying high-risk families, their assessment, and the recognition of relevant issues. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
