Dying: A Social Perspective on the End of Life (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on extensive qualitative fieldwork with patients, carers and health professionals in Australia and the United Kingdom, this book provides a critical examination of the different spheres of dying, in social and cultural context. Exploring complex issues such as the politics of assisted dying, negotiating medical futility, gender and dying, the desire for redemption, the moralities of 'the good fight' and the lived experience of bodily disintegration, this book links novel theoretical ideas within sociology to cutting-edge empirical data collected in palliative and end-of-life care contexts.
