As humanitarian aid organizations have evolved, there is a growing recognition that incorporating palliative care into aid efforts is an essential part of providing the best care possible. A Field Manual for Palliative Care in Humanitarian Crises represents the first-ever effort at educating and providing guidance for clinicians not formally trained in palliative care in how to incorporate its principles into their work in crisis situations. Written by a team of international experts, this pocket-sized manual identifies the needs of people affected by natural hazards, political or ethnic conflict, epidemics of life-threatening infections, and other humanitarian crises. Later chapters explore topics including pain management, skin conditions, non-communicable diseases, palliative care emergencies, the law and ethics of end of life care, and more. Concise and highly accessible, this manual is an ideal educational tool pre-deployment or during fieldwork for clinicians involved in planning and providing humanitarian aid, local care providers, and medical trainees.

This edited volume brings together a diverse team of palliative physicians, therapists, researchers, spiritual guides, and entrepreneurs, to explore for the first time the use of psychedelic medicines in palliative care and addiction medicine. This robust team collaborated to write eight chapters exploring the history, cultural significance, science, and legal status of eight major psychedelic medications. Each medication holds fascinating promise for treatment of symptoms such as pain, depression, PTSD, and existential distress, making them some of the most interesting drugs on the horizon currently. Psychedelics in Palliative Care presents some of the most novel medications that exist in medicine. These are drugs that were rarely studied until recently and are currently undergoing a renaissance in medical research and development. They hold huge potential for treatment of the symptoms experienced in those with terminal illness, debilitating chronic illnesses, and addiction. Many will find the book both fascinating and useful, including patients, providers, students, and those in the general population curious to learn more about this new and exciting field.
