Product Description

Product Description

This volume is directed towards professionals who work in the fields concerning death and dying. These professionals must perceive the needs of people with cultural patterns which are different from the "standard and dominant" patterns in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, the book includes illustrative episodes and in-depth presentations of selected "ethnic patterns". Each of the "ethnic chapters" is written by an author who shares the cultural traditions the chapter describes. Other chapters examine multicultural issues and provide the means for personal reflection on death and dying. There are also two bibliographic sections, one general and one geared towards children. The text is divided into three sections - Cross-Cultural and Personal perspectives, Dying, Death, and Grief Among Selected Ethnic Communities, and Reflections and Conclusions. The book is aimed at those in the fields of clinical psychology, grief therapy, sociology, nursing, social and health care work.

First Sentence
The Zapruder film of a young man in a convertible, his head rocked by the shock of a bullet, his life energy spraying on a Texas wind, the young woman crawling across the car's back, played endlessly on television in the weeks that followed President Kennedy's assassination. Read the first page

This review is from: Ethnic Variations in Dying, Death and Grief: Diversity in Universality (Death Education, Aging and Health Care) (Paperback)
Whilst I live in the UK and therefore some of the traditrions in this book are unlikely to be practiced here the insight into other cultures was invaluable and honest it its recognition of its limitations. A very worthwhile read

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethnic Variations in Dying, Death, and Grief Diversity in Universality, 12 Mar 2009
By C. A. Darring Blandford "Geriatric Nurse Prac... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ethnic Variations in Dying, Death and Grief: Diversity in Universality (Death Education, Aging and Health Care) (Paperback)
Excellent book for someone who is interested in the different religious cultures regarding death and dying. I am a nurse who is pursuing palliative care/hospice. As a nurse, social worker, or someone who works with dealing with various cultures, you encounter individuals with different religious beliefs. This is a great overview to help you understand different rituals and beliefs that you might encounter in your practice and how to accommodate the grieving families during this difficult time.
