Death, Mourning, and Caring

Author Robert Marrone, an experienced educator, researcher, psychotherapist, and writer, clearly and thoughtfully explains how attitudes toward death have changed over record time and how current interest in death, dying, and caring is affecting contemporary society. Multidisciplinary in nature, this up-to-date text captures the contributions of psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, theology, biology, medicine, social work, ethics, law, and more. The text not only reflects broad interests, but also reflects a diverse, multicultural community. The author covers the rich variation in attitudes, beliefs and practices in America and throughout the world.
