This book is a brief but comprehensive survey of research,
writings, and professional practices concerned with death and
dying. It is interdisciplinary and eclectic--medical,
psychological, religious, philosophical, artistic, demographics,
bereavement, and widowhood are all considered--but with an emphasis
on psychological aspects. A variety of viewpoints and research
findings on topics subsumed under "thanatology" receive thorough
consideration. Questions, activities, and projects at the end of
each chapter enhance reflection and personalize the material.
This fourth edition features material on:
* moral issues and court cases concerned with abortion and
euthanasia;
* the widespread problem of AIDS and other deadly diseases;
* the tragedies occasioned by epidemics, starvation, and war;
and
* the resumption of capital punishment in many states.
The book's enhanced multicultural tone reflects the increased
economic, social, and physical interdependency among the nations of
the world.
Topics receiving increased attention in the fourth edition are:
terror management; attitudes and practices concerning death;
cross-cultural concepts of afterlife; gallows humor, out-of-body
experiences; spiritualism; mass suicide; pet and romantic death;
euthanasia; right to die; postbereavement depression; firearm
deaths in children; children's understanding of death; child,
adolescent, adult, and physician-assisted suicide; religious
customs and death; confronting death; legal issues in death, dying
and bereavement; death education; death music; creativity and
death; longevity; broken heart phenomenon; beliefs in life after
death; new definitions of death; children's acceptance of a
parent's death; terminal illness; and the politics of death and
dying.
