Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement
About this book
Using a social-psychological approach, the new edition of this book remains solidly grounded in current research and theory as it offers you unrivaled insight into practices and customs from a variety of cultures. Drawing from their decades of experience as teachers and researchers, the authors integrate stimulating personal accounts with essential information to help you examine your own feelings about -- as well as cope with -- death and grieving. Numerous examples illustrate cross-cultural perspectives and the practical matters of death and dying. In addition, the new MindTap digital platform offers video resources, fieldwork style exercises and on-the-go study tools that help propel you toward course success.
