Book Reviews"I believe the author has admirably achieved her goal and has given us a valuable addition to our libraries on hospice and palliative care. With the reasonable price, hospice organizations might consider it a worthwile investment to purchase this guide for all their new clinical staff."
- Catherine P. Emmett, Journal of Hospice and Palliative Nursing
"This book provides a concise and direct look at the care of the terminally ill using a holistic approach. The author addresses the philosophy of hospice, the inner workings of hospice, and the 'how to's' of symptom management . . . . a unique and useful addition to the body of literature already available."
- Lisa Stepps, Oncology Nursing Forum
"At a time when hospice, like most of health care, is battered, bruised, marginalized and under constant redefinition, we have a book that cuts through it all to remind us of what hospice is, what sets it apart, and what must continue to be its mission and purpose. . . . A fine resource and teaching tool."
- Rev. Richard B. Gilbert, Resource Hotline, The World Pastoral Care Center
