About this book

Although four surveys of the prevalence and nature of death education in medical schools were published between 1973 and 1981 (Dickinson 1976, 1981; Liston 1973; Smith, McSweeney and Katz 1980), it is difficult to obtain a clear picture of the status of death education in medical schools and the changes that occurred during those eight years.
