Title: Increasing the Effectiveness of Palliative Care through Integrative Modalities
Abstract: This chapter discusses how palliative care is being extended to relieve the disease symptoms, side effects, and associated burdens that can beset a patient at many points along the course of an illness. Integrative modalities aimed at enriching a patient's quality of life, such as animal-assisted interventions, have been particularly helpful in enabling palliative care to be very successfully applied well beyond its historical roots of masking pain during end-of-life care.
