David W. Kissane is a psychiatrist, psycho-oncology researcher, and palliative care physician. He is emeritus at Monash University and the University of Notre Dame Australia, a prior Chairman of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, NY, USA, and Foundation Chair of Palliative Medicine at the University of Melbourne. His academic interests include demoralization, psychotherapy trials, communication skills training, and bereavement care. His work on demoralization (low morale, poor coping, hopelessness and pointlessness), with the validation of measurement scales and interview, has contributed to its recognition as a new diagnosis in ICD-11. His model of family-centred care in oncology prevents complicated grief; his cognitive-existential therapy prevents fear of recurrence. He has been awarded lifetime achievement awards by the International Psycho-Oncology Society, Clinical Oncology Society of Australia, and appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia.Smita C.
