As a recognized advocate of pain-relieving care and compassionate human concern for those who are reaching the end of life, Dr. Robert W. Buckingham offers this poignant, yet informative sourcebook on the basic components of hospice care.
The Handbook of Hospice Care is a detailed look at the history of hospice, its philosophy of care, and the contemporary issues it faces. The role of each member of the hospice team is carefully explained in the hope that palliative care, based upon the needs and preferences of each patient and family, can be provided. Dr. Buckingham describes a cooperative and compassionate approach that brings meaning, dignity, and autonomy to the dying process.
"Historically, dying has been a coming-apart experience for most families, " Dr. Buckingham says. "Hospice care concentrates on making the process of dying a coming-together experience for patient and family. Hospice is not a place or an institution but a philosophy of care."
Robert W. Buckingham, Doctor of Public Health, is Professor of Public Health at the University of Michigan-Flint. He sits on the Board of Directors of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and is the former founding Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. A graduate of Yale School of Medicine, Buckingham is a pioneer in development of hospice programs in the United States and worldwide, and he has established clinics and orphanages in Thailand, Africa, and Honduras. He is author of eleven books, including The Handbook of Hospice Care; Among Friends: Hospice Care for the Person with AIDS; and I'm Pregnant, Now What Do I Do?. Buckingham received the 2014 Nelson Mandela Award for Academic Leadership presented by Harvard University, and he was honored by the Russian Institute of Health with the 2006 Ivanosky Prize for Humanitarian Medicine for work with people with HIV and AIDS.
