دانلود کتاب مدیریت مرگ – دیدگاه های بین المللی

The field of literature relating to death, grief, and bereavement is vast, but one area that has received relatively little attention in comparison with other aspects is the management of death. By “management” what we mean is the various ways in which the communities concerned respond to death, both specifically when a person dies and more generally in terms of death as an ongoing aspect of social life. An important part of this is how the relationship between the living and the dying is managed in different societies and at different times.

One of our main aims, therefore, is to play a part in trying to tilt the balance, so that these important issues begin to receive the attention they deserve. In doing so, we also hope to fulfill a further aim of providing a sound foundation of knowledge for professionals and lay people involved in the various processes associated with the management of death.

What happens at an individual or familial level when a person dies has been widely studied and serves as the basis of a wide range of educational and training programs. However, what happens at a wider cultural or structural level has featured much less and has left a significant gap in our understanding – a gap that we hope this book can play a part in filling.
