END-OF-LIFE CARE: A SERIES
Series editor: Keith Anderson
We all confront end-of-life issues. As people live longer and suffer from
more chronic illnesses, all of us face difficult decisions about death, dying,
and terminal care. This series aspires to articulate the issues surrounding end-
of-life care in the twenty-first century. It will be a resource for practitioners
and scholars who seek information about advance directives, hospice, pallia-
tive care, bereavement, and other death-related topics. The interdisciplinary
approach makes the series invaluable for social workers, physicians, nurses,
attorneys, and pastoral counselors.
The press seeks manuscripts that reflect the interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial
essence of end-of-life care. We welcome manuscripts that address specific
topics on ethical dilemmas in end-of-life care, death, and dying among mar-
ginalized groups; palliative care; spirituality; and end-of-life care in special
medical areas, such as oncology, AIDS, diabetes, and transplantation. While
writers should integrate theory and practice, the series is open to diverse
methodologies and perspectives. Manuscript submissions should be sent to
series editor Keith Anderson at Keith.Anderson@mso.umt.edu.
