The first text to explore the history, characteristics, and challenges of hospice social work, this volume weaves leading research study into an underlying framework for practice and care. A long time practitioner, Dona J. Reese explains the hospice social work function in evaluation and intervention with individuals, households, groups, companies, and the neighborhood, while honestly facing the individual and expert problems of such life-altering work. She introduces a well-tested model of psychosocial and spiritual variables that anticipate hospice client outcomes, and she advances a social work evaluation tool to document their event. Running at the center of national leaders’ collaborated efforts to establish and advance expert companies and guidelines for end-of-life care, Reese connects with support and practice info, helping social workers understand their significance in treating the entire individual, contributing to the cultural competence of hospice settings, and declaring a definitive place within the hospice team.
