Product Description
Physicians who care for patients with life-threatening illnesses face daunting communication challenges. Patients and family members can react to trying news with sadness, distress, rage, or denial. This book defines the specific communication tasks caught up in talking with patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Topics include delivering terrible news, transition to palliative care, discussing goals of advance-care plotting and do-not-revivify orders, existential and spiritual issues, family conferences, medical futility, and other conflicts at the end of life. Drs. Anthony Back, Robert Arnold, and James Tulsky result in together empirical research as well as their own experience to provide a roadmap through trying conversations about life-threatening issues. The book offers both a theoretical framework and matter-of-fact chatty tools that the involved physician and clinician can use to improve communication skills, increase satisfaction, and protect themselves from burnout.
