Books by Joan Beder

This book is built on the premise that individuals and family members can be helped through their bereavement experience and that there are specific skills and interventions that guide a counselor in this work.

Provides an introduction to the world of medicine and social work, as seen through the eyes of social workers. Covering varying facets of diverse illness situations, this book tells how social workers see their role and function, what they describe as the struggles and rewards of their work, and how they serve the hospital, patient, and caregiver.
