Industry Reviews

"Editors Peter Lack, Nikola Biller-Andorno, and Susanne Brauer have put together a wonderful compendium of information in Advance Directives. It is a must for any library that carries information on advance directives and for anyone seeking comprehensive discussion on the topic." (The Linacre Quarterly, Vol. 85 (3), August, 2018)

From the book reviews:

"Bringing together discussions of history, validity, scope, relationality, and ethical challenges, this edited volume of 13 essays provides a comprehensive and timely examination of advance directives. ... Intended for healthcare professionals and scholars, this book may be useful for anyone who deals with advance directives, either in studies or in practice. Students and clinicians whose work includes advance care planning may find this of particular interest." (Kathryn E. Raliski, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2014)

"I found this book, with contributors from Europe, the United States and Great Britain, to be an interesting, informative, and readable review. As all the issues around the validity and implementation of advance directives evolve, I feel that people who work in palliative care have an obligation to be informed, both to promote patient autonomy and to spare some the pain and suffering and cost of futile therapy. This book will help you focus on the issues." (News Letter - IAHPC book reviews, Vol. 15 (4), April, 2014)
