The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work 2nd Edition is an extensive, evidence-based resource designed for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and academics, aimed at enriching and informing the practice of palliative social work. This authoritative volume unites contributions from over 150 authors worldwide and is overseen by three renowned pioneers in the field, catering to the needs of professionals who provide interprofessional, culturally attuned, biopsychosocial-spiritual care for patients and their families facing serious health challenges. Social workers operating in varied environments will find value in its historical insights and broad international perspective, complemented by numerous patient and family stories.
In response to the significant advancements in the field over the past ten years, this second edition offers a much more in-depth exploration of the complexities in delivering palliative social work. It features new chapters that demonstrate the growing integration of palliative social work across different populations, medical conditions, and settings. All chapters have been thoroughly revised with up-to-date evidence, including a section dedicated to interventions that underscore the range of social work practice in palliative care. A new introduction discusses social-political disparities and injustices that influenced the creation and content of this Text. The practice of international palliative social work is represented through diverse regional perspectives, including a focus on the distinct responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in various countries. Professional concerns are addressed, covering areas such as mentoring, supervision, advocacy, leadership, certification, heritage, and resilience.
