Resilience in Palliative Care by Barbara Monroe
Resilience is the capacity of people or social systems to achieve in the face of adversity. This book will help health and social care professionals understand and utilise the concept of resilience, in the context of palliative care.
..a useful addition to the library shelves of anyone working in palliative care and could be used as a reference as well as to promote discussion among team members. * Speech and Language Therapy in Practice *
...well-written and easy to read and understand...I recommend this book as a must for all professionals engaged in palliative care, clinically and/or in teaching the subject. I do not know of any other book which deals exclusively and openly with resilience in palliative care... this book should have a place in every health and social care library. * Christiane Banton, Sr Lecturer Palliative Care, University of Wolverhampton *
