Book Review: Cancer Pain Management
My interest in this book stems from the fact that, with Dr. Lois Ramondetta, we co-authored a chapter entitled: "Spiritual Care of the Cancer Pain Patient". Our intent was to describe spirituality, and spiritual care in the context of the cancer patient's journey. We've included a number of referrals to various models of spiritual care, including assessment and interventions, with a focus on the multi-disicplinary context at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. We also included case examples to help illustrate the value of proper assessment of spiritual needs with the patient. We believe our contribution may be useful for clinicians, as well as chaplains, social workers, nurses, caregivers, and patients suffering from cancer. The name of the book is: Cancer Pain Management, by Michael J. Fisch and Allen W. Burton.
