Program Description

 

"Medical doctors, nurses, social workers, and the clergy have traditionally been the main players in helping care for people near death, but psychologists are increasingly using their expertise to help people have a so-called 'good death' or perhaps the more accurate 'least worst death.' End-of-life defined as the period when health care providers would not be surprised if death occurred within about six months is a time when psychologists can treat depression and anxiety associated with pending death, offer grief counseling, help people understand confusing medical terms, and help provide compassionate care for the dying and their loved ones."
