Ethical Foundations of Palliative Care for Alzheimer Disease
In Ethical Foundations of Palliative Care for Alzheimer Disease, leading ethicists and clinicians from the United States and Europe explore ethical and scientific concerns about the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer disease, challenges arising from applying palliative procedures to its symptoms, key philosophical and theological concepts central to our understanding of the disease and to end-of-life decisions, and the changing patterns of relevant medical, social, and economic policies. Cross-cultural, multidisciplinary, and state-of-the-art, this volume is a unique and important resource for bioethicists, clinicians, and policy makers everywhere.

About the Authors
Reviews
"Books like this, which take a global view of the effects of disease, are much needed. All of us working in palliative care would benefit from reading this book as it exposes assumptions derived from the treatment mostly of cancer patients and encourages us to review our thoughts on the intrinsic value of all life, however opaque."—Palliative Medicine
"Offers valuable insights into the philosophy and practice of palliative care in AD from perspectives of a group of American and European experts . . . It raises important questions and poses solutions to a variety of pressing clinical issues."—American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias
"This volume is a definite resource for any geriatric care manager . . . It presents many viewpoints and provides a number of good insights."—Anita H. Miller, Inside GCM
"Highly recommended for physicians and other health care professionals."—Michael Gordon, Canadian Journal on Aging
"A short book review cannot do justice to the magnitude and worth of this book . . . It is a compendium of hope."—David Kuhl, Ageing and Society
"This is the finest set of perspectives on dementia, Alzheimer disease, and dying that has yet been produced. It combines some of the best thinking in the United States with insights from Europe, making it truly unique. Highly recommended for specialists in dementia care, hospice, and bioethicists."—Stephen G. Post, Case Western Reserve University
