Death Dying & Society

Changes is the only journal which values personal experience in psychological therapy above professional boundaries and doctrinal jargon. It provides an international forum for ideas, experience and views of people working in psychology, psychotherapy, nursing, education, social work, counseling and the many people who use these services.The special issue on "Death, Dying and Society" is a celebration of all that is best about Changes. It mixes the views of professionals and patients, poets and academics on death and dying from personal to societal perspectives. Papers from New Zealand to Massachusetts on topics as diverse as working with children with cancer and the Turkish genocide of the Armenians offer a profound and frequently moving or entertaining picture of death, dying and the way society responds to and constructs the end of life.Changes is unique--where else will you find AIDS and ageing, Lockerbie and suicide, near-death experience and deathmaking? All these papers are in the special issue of Changes: Death, Dying and Society.
