Oncology and Palliative Social Work

Oncology and Palliative Social Work: Psychosocial Care for People Coping with Cancer is a clinician desk reference that illustrates the need for integrating early palliative care for patients with cancer and the important role social workers have in providing psychosocial support services across the cancer trajectory. There is a convergence of oncology and palliative social work specialties in the delivery of comprehensive, culturally-congruent, whole person cancer care. The volume reflects the collective knowledge, skills, clinical experience and perspectives of a diverse group of interprofessional contributors, including best practices, emerging trends and priorities in psychosocial oncology, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this evolving landscape.
