Speaking of dying : a practical guide to using counselling skills in palliative care / Louis Heyse-Moore; foreword by Colin Murray Parkes - London : Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2008. - 192 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Good counselling skills are often not taught to the professionals who need them most. Compassionate and tactful communication skills can make the difference between an awkward encounter with a dying patient, and an engaging, empathic bond between two people. Louis Heyse-Moore draws on his wealth of experience as a trained counsellor and palliative medicine specialist. Covering difficult subjects such as breaking the news of terminal illness to a patient, euthanasia and the effect of working with patients on carers, "Speaking of Dying" is a practical guide to using counselling skills for all clinical disciplines working in palliative care, whether in a hospice, hospital or at home.
