Oncology and Palliative Social Work: Psychosocial Care for People Coping with Cancer emphasizes the importance of integrating early palliative care for cancer patients and the crucial role of social workers in delivering psychosocial support services throughout the cancer trajectory. The fields of oncology and palliative social work are converging to provide comprehensive, culturally-sensitive, and holistic cancer care. Oncology and Palliative Social Work (OPSW) represents the collective expertise, skills, clinical experiences, and perspectives of a diverse group of interprofessional contributors, encompassing best practices, emerging trends, and priorities in psychosocial oncology, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this evolving landscape. The book is organized into four sections, each consisting of five to eight thematically connected chapters. These topics cover various aspects of cancer care, including diagnosis and treatment, equity, racism, cultural competence, and humility; social determinants of health; cancer care during pandemics, disasters, and other traumatic events; survivorship, integrative programs, lifestyle and rehabilitation; innovative models in palliative care in oncology; the future direction of psychosocial oncology and palliative care, including research; psychosocial aspects of cancer; pain, symptom, and side effect management; a novel collaborative care model for individuals living with serious mental illness; interprofessional spiritual care; informal cancer caregivers; palliative and hospice care at the end of life; loss, grief, and bereavement; underrepresented, underserved, and vulnerable populations; ethical and legal issues; professional development and sustainability; credentialing, certification, and continuing education; technology; social work leadership skills; interprofessional practice; international oncology.
