内容説明

Help your clients and patients plan, write, execute, and implement essential "personal contingency plans" for health care decision-making. It is now absolutely imperative for professionals to be conversant -- indeed, knowledgeable and authoritative -- about these indispensable personal planning documents. Directives - which include living wills and health care powers of attorney (or proxies) - are unique in a heretofore unknown way. They draw heavily on the knowledge and skills of practitioners from all three of the noble professions: law, medicine, and spirit. That's precisely why Advance Health Care Directives: A Handbook for Professionals is such an exceedingly important work. Authored by a lawyer and a physician, this far ranging volume deals with the difficult and sensitive issues faced by professionals - lawyers, doctors, nurses, clerics, spiritual advisors, chaplains, social workers, palliative caregivers, and all allied walks - in helping clients and patients plan, write, execute, and implement these utterly essential "personal contingency plans" for health care decision-making. With writing that is by turns fresh, engaging, provocative, passionate, and inspiring, Scott Summers and Carol Krohm have combined their commanding wealth of professional experience and knowledge with extensive research to produce what surely is the leading reference text in the field.
