Abstract: | Indicates that hospice services to the terminally ill offer palliative care rather than curative treatment, emphasizing pain control and supportive/psychological services, and introduces a section of articles on hospice matters. Hospice care is of interest to psychologists because it is a service intervention alternative to traditional medical practice. (0 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
