Synopsis
The science of thanotology - the study of the phenomena of death and the psychology mechanisms for coping with death - has developed rapidly internationally. But very little is known about death and related issues in Chinese culture because death is a taboo subject to Chinese people. The chapters in this volume - written by local experts including medical doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists and social workers - provide a comprehensive perspective for professionals, patient care givers and bereaved persons. To overseas researchers, this will be the first ever reference work on this topic related to Chinese. To local healthcare and social work students and professionals, this collection will serve as the indispensable guide.
