"The principles of this life review process would uniquely apply to the end-of-life character of hospice care … the prevailing characteristic of hospice is to administer palliative care and comfort to the patient in the remaining few weeks and days of his life. [The Structured Life Review process can] help the patient face the reality of his or her pending demise and oftentimes, in doing so, help guide the patient to achieve 'closure' on certain troublesome and unresolved concerns.… [This book] will undoubtedly benefit many."
-Dean J. Patenaude, M.B.A., Past President and Former Board Member, Treasure Cove Hospice, Stuart, Florida
