Understanding Dying, Death, and Bereavement

Using a social-psychological approach, this edition remains solidly grounded in theory and research but places greater emphasis on the individual and copying with death and dying. These two well-known authors and researchers integrate stimulating personal accounts throughout the text, and apply concepts to specific examples that deal with cross-cultural perspectives and the practical matters of death and dying.

Michael R. Leming is professor of sociology at St. Olaf College in Minnesota. George E. Dickinson is professor of sociology at the College of Charleston in South Carolina.
