Dying / Death | Professional literature for training, studies and practice

In the Dying / Death category, you will find academic and practice-oriented literature on key issues surrounding the end of life. The titles cover topics such as grief, end-of-life care, cultural interpretations, suicide and assisted suicide, as well as society’s engagement with death and loss. In addition to sociological analyses—such as those on the loneliness of the dying or structural inequalities—the collection also includes biographical and literary perspectives, guides for family members and those affected, as well as reflections on systems theory and ethics.

The works are aimed at professionals in medicine, nursing, and the social sciences, as well as at those who are grieving, interested individuals, and educators. They include handbooks, studies, personal accounts, comics, and interdisciplinary introductions that offer both theoretical foundations and practical guidance.
