Description
Death and Bereavement Across Cultures by Colin Murray Parkes, Pittu Laungani, and Bill Young provides a comprehensive guide for professionals caring for patients with life-threatening illness and their families. The book explores the diverse customs and beliefs surrounding death from various cultures, shedding light on the psychological and historical context of these practices. By examining the rituals and beliefs of major world religions, this handbook helps healthcare professionals navigate the complexities of multi-cultural societies. The second edition includes new chapters on the role of healthcare professionals in bridging cultural gaps and the relevance of attitudes towards death in understanding religious and nationalist extremism. This practical guide offers valuable insights into the ways in which different cultures approach death and bereavement, challenging assumptions and providing a deeper understanding of the human experience.
