Rediscovery of Death Since 1960

Man has always been concerned with and has devised strategic attitudes toward death. Since 1960 there has been a burgeoning of interest, as evidenced by the increase in writings about death, and a distinct shift in conceptualization. The literature is surveyed indicating the loci of increased interest, exploring the concerns of different groups—physicians, family members, clergymen, historians—and discussing the effects of modern life such as the impact of advanced medical technology
