By Hubertus Kayser, Karin Kieseritzky, Heiner Melching, Hans-Bernd Sittig

The 4th edition of the textbook “Kursbuch Palliative Care” has been extensively expanded, revised, and updated, offering a practical and theoretically grounded introduction to all aspects of palliative medicine. This comprehensive guide provides insights into the multifaceted medical, nursing, psychological, social, ethical, legal, and spiritual aspects of caring for severely ill and dying individuals.

Symptom Control and Interdisciplinary Care

The symptom control is presented in a comprehensive and practical manner, as well as the treatment by different professional groups in the interdisciplinary team, aspects of communication, and personal coping with death and dying. New care structures and quality assurance are also discussed.

Ethical and Legal Issues at the End of Life

Ethical and legal questions at the end of life have been reorganized and expanded to include death wishes. The increasingly important palliative care for homeless people, the elderly, and individuals with intellectual and complex disabilities has been given more space.

Target Audience

This book is aimed at all professionals and interested parties working in this field, such as general practitioners, palliative care physicians, pain therapists, oncologists, psychologists, and psychotherapists, nursing staff, as well as participants in theme-related continuing education courses and students.
