  abstract: The central focus of this new edition is the awareness of the dying patient's humanity as a living being - with physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. With the increasing emphasis on 'quality of life' in health care, greater demands are now being placed on health professionals to provide better care. This care is based on knowledge and understanding of dying patients and their families and the skills to train a wide range of staff, volunteers and relatives to assist. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated and new research has been added throughout. The result of these changes is to present a current view of palliative care, recognizing the value of the multi-professional health care team and new medical technology. The chapters on communications, medical care, care of children and patients with AIDS have been completely rewritten. In addition, there are three new chapters on the use and purpose of a day centre, the place of complementary therapy and issues of bereavement. This sensitive and practical book is written for students and qualified nurses, especially those working in symptom control teams in hospitals, hospices, or the community. This book would also benefit other members of the multi-professional health care team.
