Psychological ideas in palliative care : attachment theory

Article indépendant

STRACHAN, Jenny

There is growing recognition in the palliative care community of the emotional and psychological needs of patients – and their carers – as they reach the end of life. But not every patient needs, wants or has access to formal contact with a psychologist. What’s more, all members of a multidisciplinary team are likely to experience the impact of psychological matters on their daily practice with patients and colleagues, whether or not their role is to explicitly address those. This series of articles aims to summarise some of the ‘big ideas’ in psychology and translate them into practical advice to promote psychologically informed practice for those providing palliative care, whether as doctor, nurse, allied health professional or in any other clinical or nonclinical role. The first article in the series looks at attachment theory.
