Synopsis

This book brings together a team of experienced practitioners to explore the impact and outcomes of delivering systemic therapy based interventions to people with chronic and life limiting health conditions. It showcases how practitioners have effectively used theory and evidence to develop systemic practices with people across the lifespan. In line with contemporary systemic theory and practice, the book will draw heavily from the attachment and narrative theory and the affective turn, so the collection of chapters provides a showing as well as a telling of the work. Drawing on stories woven from practice within research, the book addresses the psychosocial needs of those who are ill, as well as the healthcare professionals entrusted with their care. 
The book will cover the range of activities that practitioners do, from direct work with patients, to work with teams, supervision, research and service development.
