Handbook of Thanatology

<p>If ever there was an area requiring that the research-practice gap be bridged surely it occurs where thanatologists engage with people dealing with human mortality and loss. The field of thanatology—the study of death and dying—is a complex multidisciplinary area that encompases the range of human experiences emotions expectations and realities. The <em>Handbook of Thanatology </em>is the most authoritative volume in the field providing a single source of up-to-date scholarship research and practice implications. The handbook is the recommended resource for preparation for the prestigious certificate in thanatology (CT) and fellow in thanatology (FT) credentials which are administered and granted by ADEC.</p>
