Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death
In Facing Cancer and the Fear of Death: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Treatment, Dr. This leads to unnecessary suffering for terminally-ill patients and their families and significant distress for physicians. Norman Straker proposes that "death anxiety" is responsible for the American society's failure to address costly futile care at the end of life; more specifically, doctors default on the appropriate prescription of palliative care because of this anxiety.
Additionally, physicians need to reach a consensus regarding the discontinuation of active treatments. To address these challenges in the culture of medical education, increased psychological support for physicians who treat dying patients is necessary. Psychoanalysts have traditionally denied the importance of death anxiety and report relatively few treatment cases of dying patients in their literature.
