This fully-updated and expanded new edition delves into the complex psychosocial issues surrounding terminally ill patients and their families. It explores a range of areas including community approaches to psychosocial care, neonatal palliative care, support for families, the role of volunteers in palliative care, and addressing the needs of specific patient groups such as the frail elderly, marginalized individuals, and those with dementia.

The book provides multiple case study examples and is grounded in current literature and evidence. It emphasizes best research-based practices in psychosocial care and serves as an essential resource for professionals working in hospitals and communities across fields such as medicine, nursing, social work, chaplaincy, counselling, primary care, and mental health.
