While it can be traced to the 1700s, the term thanatology has
gained traction in recent decades to refer to the study of death.
Because of the breadth of the published material and the challenges
of discovery in large bibliographic databases and catalogs, finding
and identifying monographic material on death, dying, grief, and
bereavement can be extremely challenging. Although there have been
several bibliographical resources published on thanatology, those
titles were incomplete, limited in scope, or leaned heavily toward
one area of the field. In Death and Dying: An Annotated
Bibliography of the Thanatological Literature, John F. Szabo
provides more than 2,200 citations of monographs on the science and
study of death and dying. Among the areas this volume addresses are
the psychological, philosophical, and attitudinal aspects; coping
and dealing with the burdens of caregiving and working in the
helping professions; instructional and educational topics for
practitioners, primarily health care providers; cultural
differences in bereavement rituals; and grief, mourning, and loss.
In addition, notable titles on or relating to death and dying in
popular culture, death themes in literature, methods of death, or
specific ethical, policy, or public issues are also included when
they contribute important information to subject areas on which the
book focuses. This book will be helpful to students, researchers,
academics, caregivers, health care professionals, psychologists,
social workers, and anyone with an interest in death, dying,
bereavement, or the care of the terminally ill.
