Dignity Therapy: Honoring a Patient’s Life Story and Legacy
Price range: $25.95 through $135.00
While hospice and palliative care is multidimensional, its overall goals are relief of human suffering and improvement of quality of life. One aspect of this care is providing dignity seriously ill persons, recognizing them as unique human beings. Renowned clinicians Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov and Dr. Susan Bluck discuss work and research focusing on how using Dignity Therapy (DT) to help patients examine how they narrate their life and legacy can provide communion with others, the opportunity to make meaning of challenging events, and a sense of purpose.
