I know of no other work that provides such carefully detailed accounts of real life practice scenarios. The role of social workers and the dilemmas they face are illustrated beautifully across a variety of contexts. This volume serves as a valuable reference for all educators, students, and professionals seeking to understand the complexities of end-of-life care. -- Betty J. Kramer, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work A significant contribution. Faculty and students will appreciate having 'real life' decision cases that reflect the complexity of practice at end-of-life and during bereavement. -- Nancy Hooyman, School of Social Work at the University of Washington

With more social work programs addressing issues of death, dying, grief, and loss along with the growing student interest in these topics, faculty and students will appreciate having 'real life' decision cases that reflect the complexity of practice at end of life and during bereavement. -- Nancy Hooyman
