Ellen L. Csikai and Elizabeth Chaitin's Ethics of End-of-Life
Decisions in Social Work Practice is a book that merits a spot on
the shelf not simply because it is an important addition to the
social work oeuvre, but because it offers practical and essential
guidance for social workers and other providers working amidst the
increasing ethical complexity of end-of-life care." - Philip C.
Higgins, Journal of Palliative Medicine
The skillful introduction of complex case materials to illustrate
key points throughout the book makes this a particularly valuable
resource for professionals involved in end-of-life practice . The
book is an excellent resource for students, faculty teaching
material on ethics, and practitioners in the field." - Janna C.
Heyman, Fordham University
