The AOSW Navigator Book & Film Reviews column has dedicated 2016 and early 2017 to reviewing the inaugural Handbook of Oncology Social Work: Psychosocial Care for People with Cancer. This is an exceptional publication that has already become a “go-to” resource for oncology social workers across the globe. More than 20 AOSW members have and will participate in reviewing individual chapters while sharing insights, information and passages from this important work.
If you haven’t already picked up your own copy, these reviews will prompt you to get one, highlight your favorite chapters and inspire you to choose which chapter to read next. Whether you are implementing distress screening in your institution, working with children affected by parental cancer, counseling grieving family members, advocating for improved healthcare access for underserved populations or considering ways to strengthen your own personal and professional resiliency, you’ll find wisdom, clinical expertise and guidance inside, written and edited by pillars in our field.
