Bøger af David Wendell Moller

Analyzes dying and death in the cosmopolitan setting. While providing a portrait of dying, this book also tells us a great deal about life. It demonstrates that the foundation for the medicalization of death that shapes the life experience of dying persons and loved ones is a product of the ways of life in the broader culture.

Moller provides a powerful critique of how modern technology and bureaucracy, along with professional doctors, therapists, and funeral directors have come to dehumanize the experience of death for both the dying and their survivors.
