Corr/Corr/Doka's DEATH & DYING, LIFE & LIVING, 9th EDITION, reflects a wealth of experience and insights from authors who have made outstanding contributions to the field of death, dying and bereavement. In addition to describing classical materials and their own ground-breaking task-based approaches for individual, family and community coping, this edition offers up-to-date treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic in each chapter. It also discusses the opioid epidemic, drug overdose deaths, “deaths of despair,” and the recent decline in average life expectancy in the U.S. population as a whole and among certain groups. This edition continues the commitment to developmental issues by including four full chapters on death-related issues as they involve children, adolescents, young and middle-aged adults and older adults. This book can be used as a primary textbook for courses in death, dying, and bereavement; as a supplementary text in related courses; or as a general resource.
