Description: Frequent assertions that death is taboo can be seen as evidence of a revival of interest in dying and bereavement. This book examines the revival and relates it to theories of modernity and postmodernity.
Synopsis: Talking about death is now fashionable, but how should we talk? Who should we listen to - priests, doctors, cousellors, or ourselves? Has psychology replaced religion in telling us how to die? This provocative book takes a sociological look at the revival of interest in death, focusing on the hospice movement and bereavement counselling. It will be required reading for anyone interested in the sociology of death and caring for the dying, the dead or bereaved.
