Description
In this course, students will explore an overview of common end-of-life issues that arise when counseling dying clients and their family, e.g. discussion of goals of care (e.g. DNR/DNI), psychological treatments for pain, multicultural factors, familial conflict, anticipatory grief, bereavement, and death anxiety. Students will also learn about palliative care, hospice care, and the complex bioethical issues that can arise in this work. Lastly, students will explore what it means personally to work with this population, with discussion of compassion fatigue and burnout prevention. Includes the fundamental occupational tasks of assessment, case presentation, case collaboration, team membership and client interaction.
