Dying relatives were cared for at home, and mortality rates were higher. Today, there is much less familiarity with death, which increasingly takes place in hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. This wide-ranging and enlightening book offers an exploration of death and dying as human conditions that impact on the individual, their significant others and those involved with their care and well-being. It is aimed at medical and healthcare staff, social workers and counsellors, as well as social sciences and health psychology DeathBereavementDeath.Bereavement.306.9Leishman June L1469656MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780618203321Perspectives on death and dying3681191UNINA
