Psychological ideas in palliative care: attachment theory

European Journal of Palliative Care, 2017, 24 (1) 24-27
Jenny Strachan

This is the first in a series of articles that explores psychological concepts and translates them into practical advice to promote psychologically informed practice for people working in both clinical and non-clinical palliative care roles.  Here, the author suggests that care should be adapted to meet the needs of patients with different attachment styles and that attachment theory should be among the considerations of policy and process development.
