Psychological & Psychiatric Care
Depression and anxiety in serious illness, screening instruments, evidence-based psychosocial interventions, and demoralization syndrome.
View the evidence →Grief & Bereavement Counseling
Prolonged Grief Disorder, anticipatory grief, and the Medicare hospice bereavement-counseling mandate (42 CFR §418.64(d)).
View the evidence →Spiritual Care & Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy evidence and the FICA spiritual-history tool (pastoral, not clinical, support).
View the evidence →Interdisciplinary Care Team
Social workers and the wider care team's role in counseling and support, alongside nursing, medicine, and chaplaincy.
