The challenges faced by individuals and families at the end of life are still incredibly diverse, yet more than ever is now known about the needs that cut across the great diversity of experiences in the face of death. A number of behavioural interventions and clinical approaches to addressing these needs have been developed and are available to help providers care for clients and assist them in achieving their goals. Global Perspectives on Behavioural Interventions in Palliative and End-of-Life Care explores interventions that can be used to address a range of behavioural, psychological, social, and spiritual issues that arise when people are facing a chronic or life-limiting illness.

With perspectives from experienced clinicians, providers, and caregivers from around the world, the book offers a strong foundation in contemporary evidence-based practice alongside seasoned practice insights from the field and explores interventions for people as diverse as HIV caregivers in Africa and individuals dying with dementia in Australia. In addition, readers will learn about the process of caring for individuals with chronic illnesses; weigh the impact of policy regulations on the availability of and access to palliative care and interventions; and be able to compare the different issues experienced by family caregivers and formal caregivers.

The book will be of interest to a wide variety of individuals, such as academics, researchers and postgraduates in the fields of mental health, medicine, psychology and social work. It will also be essential reading for healthcare providers and trainees from psychosocial and palliative medicine, social work and nursing.
