While ways of disposing of the dead and grief practices have been thought of as based upon individual responses, grief and bereavement practices can be understood not only by looking at psychological and medical frameworks, but also by examining people as part of a complex structure of social arrangements, institutions, structures, and patterns. By examining the social and institutional structures of various groups around the world, we provide an international framework for a better understanding of the study of dying, death, and bereavement. This book highlights the significance of these matters in an international context, reflecting common themes and important differences. It will highlight common themes across diverse cultures and national settings, while also drawing attention to significant differences. If professionals working in the field of death, grief and bereavement are not aware of such differences, their practice can be insensitive, discriminatory and therefore ineffective, if not actually counterproductive. As such, the book provides an invaluable resource for a wide variety of professionals and students, including medicine and health care; social work; counselling and psychotherapy; chaplaincy and pastoral work; and, of course, those involved in the funeral industry. In addition, students of sociology, psychology and anthropology will find much of interest here in terms of appreciating the diversity of ways in which funerals and other death management practices are managed and integrated into social life. . 410 0$aSocial Sciences Series 606 $aPsychology 606 $aSociology 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology 606 $aSociology 606 $aSociety 606 $aCultural Psychology 606 $aAnthropology 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aBehavioral Sciences and Psychology. 615 24$aSociology. 615 24$aSociety. 615 24$aCultural Psychology. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a306 676 $a306.9 700 $aCox$b Gerry R.$01211623 702 $aThompson$b Neil 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595451203321 996 $aManaging death$93036250 997 $aUNINA
