Abstract:

The period leading to death is characterized by increasing prevalence and intensity of physical, psychological, existential, and social concerns, and it is often a challenging time for patients, their families, and health-care providers. This chapter specifically addresses the most prevalent symptoms and concerns encountered when managing the actively dying patient. Symptoms affecting dying patients’ comfort, including pain, dyspnoea, delirium, terminal secretions, and refractory symptoms and suffering require different clinical management as death approaches. Other topics included are recogni

Abstract:

The Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care is a concise summary of current Palliative Care Practice written by those actively involved in the care of patients in the last phase of life. While management of symptoms is a very important contribution to the quality of end of life care, dying is not predominantly a medical event, but an important part of life. As such the Handbook, while detailing the contemporary management of physical and psychological symptoms, also includes contributions from a wide variety of professionals involved in the wider aspects of care and support for individuals and thei

Abstract:

This chapter deals with physician-assisted dying (PAD) in the Netherlands. The focus is on the emergence, regulation, and effects of this practice that allowsonly physiciansto help patients die actively. To understand the adoption of this widely contested practice, it is necessary to describe the social context, changing legal landscape, medical profession policies, and political stalemate surrounding agreement on a law well after the practice existed and was accepted. Dutch development of regulation by the medical profession and multidisciplinary review committees realizes the goals of societ

Abstract:

For many patients, dying from cancer has been an ever-present reality from the time they were diagnosed with incurable recurrent or metastatic cancer. Treatment may have delayed the inevitable, but there does come a point where aggressive management no longer improves the prognosis or can only prolong life that is of such a poor quality that it is not valued by the patient. It sometimes is easier to continue with treatment than to take the time with the patient to discuss the reasons why further treatment is not appropriate. For patients with advanced cancer and whose condition is deterioratin

Abstract:

This volume explores the topic of death and dying from the late twentieth to the early twenty-first centuries, with particular emphasis on the United States. The book comprises six sections. Section I examines how the law has helped shape clinical practice, emphasizing the roles of rights and patient autonomy. Section II focuses on specific clinical issues, including death and dying in children, continuous sedation as a way to relieve suffering at the end of life, and the problem of prognostication in patients who are thought to be dying. Section III considers psychosocial and cultural issues,

Abstract:

Last Acts: The Art of Dying on the Early Modern Stage argues that the Elizabethan and Jacobean theater offered playwrights, actors, and audiences important opportunities to practice arts of dying. Early modern plays also engage with devotional traditions that understand death less as an occasion for suffering or grieving than as an action to be performed, well or badly. Active deaths belie the narratives of helplessness and loss most often used to analyze representations of mortality and instead suggest ways that marginalized and constrained subjects might participate in the political, social,

Abstract:

This handbook explores the topic of death and dying from the late twentieth to the early twenty-first centuries, with particular emphasis on the United States. In this period, technology has radically changed medical practices and the way we die as structures of power have been reshaped by the rights claims of African Americans, women, gays, students, and, most relevant here, patients. Respecting patients’ values has been recognized as the essential moral component of clinical decision making. Technology’s promise has been seen to have a dark side: it prolongs the dying process.

Abstract:

Death studies have, over the past twenty years, witnessed a flourishing of research and scholarship particularly in areas such as dying and bereavement, cultural practices and fear of dying. But, despite its importance, a specific focus on the nature of personal mortality has attracted surprisingly little attention. Reflecting on the Inevitable: Mortality at the Crossroads of Psychology, Philosophy, and Health breaks new ground by bringing together available ideas and research on the meaning of one’s own death. Its content is organized around the question of how an ongoing relationship might b

Its dominant structural principle and characteristic design is dependent-head-synthesis, with dependents lexically head-marked and still referentially active.

Abstract:

When the debate over euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide emerged into public consciousness in the mid-1970s, the debate got off to a rousing start, as philosophers, doctors, theologians, public-policy theorists, journalists, social advocates, and private citizens became embroiled in the debate. On the one side were liberals, who thought physician-assisted suicide and perhaps voluntary active euthanasia were ethically acceptable and should be legal; on the other side were conservatives, who believed that it was imoral and/or dangerous to legalize assisted dying as a matter of public polic

Abstract:

Prescription, illicit, and recreational drugs touch all of our lives yet a basic understanding of these chemicals is largely absent among Americans. Jerrold Winter offers a comprehensive account of psychoactive drugs, chemicals which influence our brains in myriad ways. Manifestations of their influence on the brain are quite varied. There may be the comfort provided by opioids to those who are dying or in pain or, in everyday life, the surge of contentment for the users of caffeine, nicotine, heroin, alcohol, or marijuana upon the taking of their drug of choice.
