Is dying being worked to death?
RJ Cohen
In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of books
and articles on death and dying. The ambivalence of some writers regarding
the value of this proliferation of papers led the author to review and
evaluate this literature; he found seven overlapping categories of
death-related literature that were of both theoretical and practical value.
He briefly explores possible reasons for the rise in this subject's
popularity.
