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 606 $aDeath 606 $aBereavement 615 0$aDeath. 615 0$aBereavement. 676 $a306.9 701 $aLeishman$b June L$01667109 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827786803321 996 $aPerspectives on death and dying$94026759 997 $aUNINA
