Curing the Dread of Death: Theory, Research and Practice

Edited by Rachel E. Menzies, Ross G. Menzies, Lisa Iverach

This unique book explores the dread of death and its management from a wide range of perspectives with researchers and writers from a variety of cultures, academic traditions and disciplines across the globe. The fields covered are broad - including palliative care and grief, psychodynamic theory, social, developmental and clinical psychology, sociology and anthropology, counselling practice as well as history, art, and philosophy.

Not only is this book a fascinating journey into the very core of the human psyche, it is also a guide to our psychological health. The challenge we all face is to discover pathways to an acceptance of death that enables a life of significance and meaning.

Read, learn, and explore what an examination of the dread of death can bring to one's life.
