| Annotation | Death is examined from historic and contemporary perspectives; and changes in life expectancy, personal experience and public awareness of death that have occurred over the part century are described. The impact of these changes on the mastery of two developmental tasks in adulthood - acceptance of one's own mortality, and coping with the death of a spouse - are examined. Some findings from the literature on attitudes, fear of acceptance of death, and grief processes are outlined. (RH). |
