Toward a Social Theory of Dying

The literature on death and dying is becoming increasingly specialized. This paper offers a single framework that might be useful in working toward a social theory of dying. Selected contributions are reviewed under the rubrics of social psychological coping processes, institutional role relationships, and societal values and attitudes. Socialization is then applied as a framework in which to codify existing approaches and move toward a more encompassing social theory of dying
