The Philosophy of Palliative Care: Critique and Reconstruction
The Philosophy of Palliative Care: Critique and Reconstruction Books
Product Description
The thought of a philosophy of palliative care emerged with Cicely Saunders’ thought for ‘a excellent death’, and was developed further with the WHO definition of palliative care. It is now being applied not only to cancer patients, but to all patients in end of life situations. As this ‘palliative care approach’ advances, it is vital to pause and comment on its effectiveness. It is a philosophy of patient care, and is therefore open to critique and evaluation. Using the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Medicine, 3rd edition as their basic reference, Randall and Downie bestow their argument that the palliative care approach has become too busy and over-professionalised, and that it therefore has significant weaknesses. They examine the framework of the specialty – quality of life, autonomy, dignity, patient-centredness, and the priority assigned to relatives in the remit of care – and the moral problems associated with implementing such a philosophy. The resource implications of various health care policies are also discussed in relation to the WHO definition. Whilst the authors defend the achievements of palliative care and those who work in the profession, they bestow suggestions for an alternative philosophy. Their philosophy prompts many ethical and philosophical questions about the future of palliative care.
