Lawrence Erlbaum | ISBN:0805852719 | 2007 | PDF | 2 MB | 496 pages
In this book death is treated both as a threat to meaning and as an opportunity to create meaning. The first section introduces theory and methodology to connect the latest empirical research on death attitudes to the philosophical/psychological existential and spirituality literature. Part II presents the latest empirical research on subjects such as end-of-life decisions and living with HIV. The final section considers therapeutic applications to issues including suicide, infertility, bereavement, and anxiety. The concluding chapter highlights the book’s common themes and provides questions to encourage further investigation of the most critical topics.
Existential and Spiritual Issues in Death Attitudes provides:
*an in-depth examination of death attitudes, existentialism, and spirituality and their relationships;
*a review of the major theoretical models;
*clinical applications of these models to issues such as infertility, bereavement, anxiety, and suicide;
*an introduction to Meaning Management Theory and how it can be applied to grief counseling.
