The book bears witness to the evolution of the movement and presents the insights of its pioneers, eyewitnesses, and major contributors past and present. Its chapters address contemporary intellectual, institutional, and practice developments in thanatology: hospice and palliative care; funeral practice; death education; and caring of the dying, suicidal, bereaved, and traumatized.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a breadth and depth found in no other text on death, dying, and bereavement, the book disseminates the thinking of prominent authors William Worden, David Clark, Tony Walter, Robert Neimeyer, Charles Corr, Phyllis Silverman, Betty Davies, Therese A. Rando, Colin Murray Parkes, Kenneth Doka, Allan Kellehear, Sandra Bertman, Stephen Connor, Linda Goldman, Mary Vachon, and others. Their chapters discuss the most significant facets of early development, review important current work, and assess major challenges and hopes for the future in the areas of their expertise. A substantial chronology of important milestones in the contemporary movement introduces the book, frames the chapters to follow, and provides guidance for further, in-depth reading. The book first focuses on the interdisciplinary intellectual achievements that have formed the foundation of the field of thanatology. The section on institutional innovations encompasses contributions in hospice and palliative care of the dying and their families; funeral service; and death education. The section on practices addresses approaches to counseling and providing support for individuals, families, and communities on issues related to dying, bereavement, suicide, trauma, disaster, and caregiving. An Afterword identifies challenges and looks toward future developments that promise to sustain, further enrich, and strengthen the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistills the wisdom of pioneers in and major contributors to the contemporary death, dying, and bereavement movement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes living witness accounts of the movement's evolution and important milestones\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the best contemporary thinking in thanatology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes contemporary institutional developments in hospice and palliative care, funeral practice, and death education\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIlluminates best practices in care of the dying, suicidal, bereaved, and traumatized\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 428\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 07, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52515254108467,"sku":"9780826171412","price":158.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MEd6cmc0aUc1M0R1ZUNmUUpuUzBBZz09.webp?v=1760400088","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/death-dying-and-bereavement-contemporary-perspectives-institutions-and-practices-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
