Social workers in all areas of practice encounter end-of-life care issues. This compendium gives a comprehensive view of end-of-life care as taught in MSW, BSW, continuing education, and post-master's programs. It is a valuable resource for new and seasoned faculty alike, providing concrete guidance that will enrich the classroom experience. Csikai and Jones have compiled a complete resource for social work educators. The book closes a gap in knowledge about
end-of-life care and demonstrates how to best incorporate the content into social work programs.
