摘要

Palliative care aims to alleviate suffering and preserve quality of life when cure is uncertain. Applied to psychiatry, this raises conceptual and ethical challenges due to diagnostic instability, prognostic uncertainty, and the risk of therapeutic resignation. This article critically examines palliative psychiatry and argues that dynamic, process-based and network models may clarify its clinical and ethical foundations.
