Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Using a social-psychological approach, this edition remains solidly grounded in theory and research, but places greater emphasis on the individual and coping with death and dying. These two well-known authors and researchers integrate stimulating personal accounts throughout the text, and apply concepts to specific examples that deal with cross cultural perspectives and the practical matters of death and dying.

5.0 out of 5 stars una manera de afrontar la muerte, June 3, 2000
By Luis Méndez (Republica Dominicana) - See all my reviews
este libro, que fue leido por mi hace ya muchos anos, es otro que me impresiono y me gusto. muestra diferentes vistas y perspectivas de la muerte de un ser querido. desde la negacion de los hechos hasta la aceptacion y la resignacion, pasando por diferentes estadios que son necesarios tanto social como psicologicamenete para superar la perdida. es de especial interes para estudiantes de medicina o de psicologia o para cualquier persona que quiera aprender a lidiar con una gran perdida. LUIS MENDEZ
