The concept of a "good death" has been hotly debated in medical
circles for decades. This volume delves into the possibility and
desirability of a "good death" by presenting the psychosocial
measures of care as a crucial component, such as religion,
existentialism, hope and meaning-making. The volume also focuses on
oncologic psychiatry and the influence of technology as a means to
alleviate pain and suffering, and potentially provide relief to
those at the end of life. Such initiatives are aimed at diminishing
pain and are socially bolstering and emotionally comforting to
ensure a peaceful closure with life as opposed to a battle waged.
Utilizing the most recent information from medical journals and
books to present the latest on healthcare and dying today, this
volume crosses the boundaries of thanatology, psychology, religion,
spirituality, medical ethics and public health.
