Elisabeth Earnshaw-Smith : discovering people’s strengths and resources at the end of life

Article indépendant

OLIVIERE, David

Elisabeth Earnshaw-Smith became the first director of social work at St Christopher's Hospice, London, in 1979, and introduced a family approach in psychosocial care that has now travelled the world. Her pioneering work, which was further developed by the multidisciplinary team at St Christopher's, remains at the core of what it is to be a social worker today in end-of-life care. The team at the hospice turned ‘the family as the unit of care’ into reality through the use of strategies from family therapy practice, including the use of family trees or genograms, family meetings and understanding the part that family dynamics play in the crisis of illness, death and bereavement.
