Opis

This book will provide clinicians with a comprehensive description of the psychological aspects of ALS and their management, and incorporates chapters written by recognized scholars in their respective fields.

Recenzje

I was impressed with this book. If you work with ALS patients, this is required reading. For others who work in palliative care, listening to how to best address the psychosocial aspects of what most regard as a clinically difficult condition may enable you to better manage similar issues in other patients who cross your path.
