{"product_id":"death-and-bereavement-across-cultures","title":"Death and Bereavement Across Cultures","description":"All societies have their own customs and beliefs surrounding death. In the West, traditional ways of mourning are disappearing, and though science has had a major impact on views of death, it has taught us little about the way to die or to grieve. Many who come into contact with the dying and the bereaved from other cultures are at a loss to know how to offer appropriate and sensitive support.\nDeath and Bereavement Across Cultures, provides a handbook with which to meet the needs of doctors, nurses, social workers, counsellors and others involved in the care of the dying and bereaved. Written by international authorities in the field, this important text:\n* describes the rituals and beliefs of major world religions\n* explains their psychological and historical context\n* shows how customs change on contact with the West\n* considers the implications for the future\nThis book explores the richness of mourning traditions around the world with the aim of increasing the understanding which we all bring to the issue of death.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0415131375\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0415131375.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
