Dreiffus-Kattan, E. (2016). Art and Mourning
Hannelore Wass
Art is about freeze framing life and making it available for contemplation. This article describes creative strategies for teaching meaning-making and critical thinking through the use of imagery and the visual arts and how they have been influenced by the wisdom and guidance of Dr. Hannelore Wass. Dr. Wass's passion for encouraging death educators to explore "other ways of knowing" is reflected in the connections between visual imagery and topic…
Communicating with the Dead
T. S. Eliot's profound poetic insight says it all: “We shall not cease from exploration/And the end of all exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time.” Nothing is static. Nothing is “new,” and yet “knowing it for the first time” as Eliot suggests, is the precious paradox that refutes the idea that we must break our bonds with the dead in order to heal. Long before the “continuing bonds” term was coined, the…

Foreword to “the girl in the raindrop”
Aging grace
Faith, human relationships, and basic existential concerns are as important as physical and psychological well-being of the aged. Drawing heavily from the arts and humanities, this paper examines the nature of these issues, their special place in the lives of the aged, and ways that health professionals, laypersons, and family members can recognize, respect, and contribute to them

Humanities in surgery, a life threatening situation
Surgeons should be able to communicate emotion-laden information to patients effectively. In most medical schools, there is an implicit assumption that students will learn communication skills through observation of appropriate role models. Young physicians often feel ill prepared to convey such information with sensitivity and understanding. University of Massachusetts Medical School's curriculum includes a program that addresses the communicati…

The Arts
The expressive arts - literature, film, song - are mediums for dramatic exposure of human experience with loss which reflect concerns present in the student of any age. Expression of the human spirit is not the exclusive province of the professional artist. Students can respond to the artists' perceptions through art expressions of their own (dialogue, drawing). This paper (1) identifies concerns, consolations and fears of artist and student; (2)…
