AnnotationThis book examines our various levels of awareness of death, how psychotherapy patients deal with death-related triggers, and how therapists defend against death anxiety. The author infers that death anxiety is neglected in part because of treatment failures due to countertransference interferences during treatment. He discusses immortality and mortality from historical, cultural and neurobiological perspectives, and hints that mental activities are derived from immune system reactions.
