This highly accessible guide to counseling terminally ill individuals and their families fills a critical need in the counseling literature. Written for front-line mental health professionals and counseling graduate students, the text integrates empirically-based research with practical guidance. It is replete with the experiences of contributing authors who are leaders in counseling terminally ill persons, real life case examples, clinical "pearls" of wisdom, and summary tables of practice pointers that provide quick access to important knowledge. The text discusses information that is fundamental for all counselors who provide services to terminally ill persons and their families. It addresses common issues that determine different types of counseling approaches such as how the culture of a client affects counselor conceptualizations and actions along with mental health complications and cognitive impairment.
