El libro que tiene entre sus manos nace de la formación desarrollada en la Universidad de Lleida en los cursos de Postgrado sobre mindfulness. El lector podrá encontrar las aportaciones teóricas que sustentan y demuestran el valor del mindfulness y la compasión desde diferentes perspectivas. Podrá además encontrar los fundamentos de las diferentes prácticas. Unas prácticas que son sencillas pero exigen constancia, apertura y una mirada renovada, capaz de redescubrir la verdadera dimensión de lo cotidiano, de uno mismo, de las personas que nos rodean, de la naturaleza, etc. Además, ofrecemos un recorrido por las posibles aplicaciones del mindfulness y la compasión en algunos ámbitos de la relación de ayuda: educación, trabajo social, psicología y ámbito sanitario. Este no es un libro de autoayuda ni un tratado sobre mindfulness, quiere ser una tarjeta de presentación del mindfulness para aquellas personas que no lo conocen en profundidad y que se preguntan por su utilidad personal o profesional.
El alivio del sufrimiento en el período final de la vida, reconocido en los últimos años como un derecho universal del ser humano, es una de las importantes misiones de la medicina. Para responder a las múltiples necesidades de los pacientes y familias es imprescindible una actitud empática, solidaria y respetuosa. Pero esta filosofía humanista requiere también la incorporación de los numerosos conocimientos paliativos que se han ido desarrollando en los últimos 30-40 años. No se puede aliviar eficazmente sin aplicar estos avances de la medicina. El objetivo de este libro es contribuir a la adquisición y/o mejora de las competencias necesarias para atender adecuadamente a los pacientes y a sus familias. Trata de orientar sobre las respuestas a las múltiples necesidades de los pacientes y familias, que incluyen como un aspecto fundamental el control de los síntomas, pero también problemas emocionales, sociales y espirituales.
Once it was difficult to see end of life care beyond conventional medical intervention, but hospice and palliative care introduced a more holistic approach, providing quality of life for the dying and their families. This ground-breaking work takes end-of-life care beyond these palliative boundaries, describing a public health vision that involves whole communities adopting a compassionate approach to dying, death and loss. Written by a leading academic in the field of death and bereavement, this text outlines the historical, political and conceptual basis of compassionate cities, providing a community development model for end-of-life care. Moving away from infection control and health promotion Allan Kellehear invites us to think of a third wave movement of public health, joining empathy, equality and action together as practical policies. Presenting a radical new perspective to death, ageing and public health, Compassionate Cities is essential reading for academics and professionals alike.
Compassionate communities are communities that provide assistance for those in need of end of life care, separate from any official heath service provision that may already be available within the community. This idea was developed in 2005 in Allan Kellehear’s seminal volume- Compassionate Cities: Public Health and End of Life Care. In the ensuing ten years the theoretical aspects of the idea have been continually explored, primarily rehearsing academic concerns rather than practical ones. Compassionate Communities: Case Studies from Britain and Europe provides the first major volume describing and examining compassionate community experiments in end of life care from a highly practical pe...
Death, dying, loss, and care giving are not just medical issues, but societal ones. Palliative care has become increasingly professionalised, focused around symptom science. With this emphasis on minimizing the harms of physical, psychological, and spiritual stress, there has been a loss of how cultures and communities look after their dying, with the wider social experience of death often sidelined in the professionalisation and medicalisation of care. However, the people we know and love in the places we know and love make up what matters most for those undergoing the experiences of death, loss, and care giving. Over the last 25 years the theory, practice, research evidence base, and clini...
