Description

Death is inevitable, but our perspectives about death and dying are socially constructed.

This updated third edition takes us through the maze of issues, both social and personal, which surround death and dying in Canada.

Topics include euthanasia and medically assisted death, palliative care and hospices, the high incidence of opioid deaths, the impact of cyber bullying in suicide deaths, the sociology of HIV/AIDS, funeral and burial practices, the high rates of suicide in Canada and dealing with grief and bereavement, among others.

Additionally, Auger explores alternative methods for helping dying persons and their loved ones deal with death in a holistic, patient-centred way.

Each chapter includes suggested readings, discussion questions and in-class assignments.
