Aspects of death and dying; psychosocial interventions to promote a good death; Charaterizing the concept of good death

Summary: The concept of a ""good death"" has been hotly debated in medical circles for decades. This volume delves into the possibility and desirability of a ""good death"" by presenting the psychosocial measures of care as a crucial component, such as religion, existentialism, hope and meaning-making. The volume also focuses on oncologic psychiatry and the influence of technology as a means to alleviate pain and suffering, and potentially provide relief to those at the end of life. Such initiatives are aimed at diminishing pain and are socially bolstering and emotionally comforting to ensure a peaceful closure with life as opposed to a battle waged"
