Description

Dewi Rees (au). A comprehensive account of the psychology of death & bereavement, which places the subject within the context of the major world religions & their assoc. mourning & funeral customs. Clearly written, the book examines the thinking of Freud & Jung & of modern psychiatrists, & also discusses aspects of death such as bereavement visions, euthanasia, grief for a pet, & suicide. This rev. ed. includes 5 new chapters, dealing with such topics as the scientific assessment of death; the psychological insights provided by Shakespeare; & the beliefs & customs of minority groups -- the Baha’is, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Quakers, Spiritualists & Seventh-day Adventists. Case histories bridge the gap between theory & experience in a creative way.
