Palliative Care Perspectives by James L. Hallenbeck (Assistant Professor of Medicine, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, USA)

Dr. Hallenbeck has written a guide for clinicians who want an introduction to palliative care that addresses "big picture" issues as well as provides specific, practical advice.

Palliative Care Perspectives Reviews

This is not a palliative care treatment manual, but a discussion of palliative care that is both insightful and clinically practical. It will be particularly useful as an introduction for doctors and nurses coming to the field of palliative care, but will also be valuable to more experienced practitioners to ponder and to use in their teaching. * IAHPC Website *
This book is an insightful attempt by one palliative care physician to make sense of certain aspects of palliative care via stories . . . Each chapter draws the reader into a new conversation with Dr Hallenbeck, whose informal style of writing and honest use of the self is both endearing and engaging. His extensive clinical experience and expertise as a palliative care physician and educator is evident throughout this book. He provides well-referenced evidence and appropriate real life stories, with clear and simple explanations and practical suggestions to complex clinical problems, capturing the underlying guiding principles and morals in useful 'Palliative care notes'. * International Journal of Palliative Nursing, Vol 10, No 4 *
