The Psychology of Death is a pioneer survey of all aspects of the subject by two of the few authors in the world who are academically qualified to treat it - though, as they observe, not all the academic degrees in the world enable one to contemplate death with equanimity. ***The topics discussed include : the definition of death, clinically and biologically; neurotic anxieties about death; consolation and grief; old age and 'natural' death; who should be kept alive and how long; what can be done to forestall premature death; the counterfeiting of death; the fatal attractions of murder and suicide; the incidence of accidents; the mutual implications of birth and death; and the cultural milieu of death today and in the past. The authors emphasize that the time and mode of death are factors of the individual's life style within his particular social context.' (Quote from inside of front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in its original dustwrapper in very nice condition. Uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 3884
