Description

In Intimations of Mortality, Barbara Reich offers an empirically-based critique of the failures of end-of-life communication and decision-making in the United States. Using England and Canada as occasional foils, Reich explores why U.S. physicians, patients, and families struggle to have the conversations necessary to provide seriously ill and dying patients with medical care consistent with their preferences. Reich also shows how a number of different factors –including payment mechanisms, liability fears, cultural phenomena, communication avoidance, death denial, and clinical uncertainty –impact physician-patient communication and medical decision-making, leave patients and families without the tools they need to make informed choices, and instead leave the default practices in place. Ultimately, this groundbreaking analysis unveils the interconnectedness of the many obstacles to better communication and decision-making in end-of-life communications and offers much-needed suggestions for improvement. Review 'We are not good at talking about death. It's seen as embarrassing, awkward. We don't have the words or conventions. In her brilliant book, Intimations of Mortality: Medical Decision-Making at the End of Life, Barbara A. Reich explains how to talk about death well. Beautifully written, full of humanity and gentleness, the book draws from law, literature, philosophy and the experience of a life well lived to show us how doctors, patients and families can have the conversations they should have about death and the legal framework that can make them possible. This is a hugely important topic. We must do death better, and Reich offers a way of doing this.' Jonathan Herring, DM Wolfe-Clarendon Fellow in Law, Exeter College, University of Oxford 'An essential read for all those who seek to improve end-of-life decision-making – exposing the barriers to good and necessary communication, it enables us to dismantle them and ensure better deaths for ourselves and others.' Jocelyn Downie, James S. Palmer Chair in Public Policy and Law, Dalhousie University 'Professor Barbara Reich has written a thoughtful book to help us 'think well' about death and dying. The author moves from personal stories to the law, from medical dilemmas of brain death and vegetative states to mechanisms like boards and ethics committees to aid medical, family, and ethics decisionmakers. A pleasure to read, this book is perfect for academics and the general public alike.' Barry R. Furrow, Professor of Law, Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law Book Description A thoroughly researched, empirically-based explanation of the failures of end-of-life communication & decision-making in the United States. About the Author Barbara A. Reich is a Professor of Law who has taught Bioethics, End-of-Life Law, and other Medical Law subjects for over two decades. She is the author of numerous articles addressing end-of-life issues, including articles about the Theresa Schiavo case, informed consent and shared decision-making, advance directives, and cognitive challenges to making good medical decisions. Barbara is a graduate of Harvard Law School.
