Now in its second edition, this is the only book on occupational
therapy in oncology and palliative care. It has been thoroughly
updated, contains new chapters, and like the first edition will
appeal to a range of allied health professionals working with
patients with a life-threatening illness.
The book explores the nature of cancer and challenges faced by
occupational therapists in oncology and palliative care. It
discusses the range of occupational therapy intervention in symptom
control, anxiety management and relaxation, and the management of
breathlessness and fatigue.
The book is produced in an evidence-based, practical, workbook
format with case studies. New chapters on creativity as a
psychodynamic approach; outcome measures in occupational therapy in
oncology and palliative care; HIV-related cancers and palliative
care.
