病人应该被告知他们正在死亡吗？当一个家庭成员面临死亡时，家庭会有什么反应？谁能告诉我死亡即将来临？医院的工作人员--医生、护士和护理人员--如何对待垂死的病人和他的家人？死亡，作为一种社会仪式，是人类存在的重大转折点之一，但在这部经典作品之前，它几乎没有受到科学研究。美国人对死亡的看法似乎奇怪地自相矛盾--我们的报纸每天都在面对死亡的残酷事实，而美国人却不愿意公开谈论死亡本身的过程。《死亡意识》运用了一种高度原创的意识理论，研究了垂死的病人和他周围的人在社会交往中的情况，它为我们提供了一种分析的语言和工具，帮助我们理解谁知道死亡是什么，在什么情况下，以及它有什么不同。作者使用他们精细详细的观察来发展理论结构，这些理论结构将在许多其他互动和情况下使用。《死亡意识》是第一本关于医院死亡的研究，它被证明是牧师、社会工作者、护士和医生在面对死亡情况下出现的许多道德和个人问题时的有用手册。现在有平装本，它注定要达到新的观众感兴趣的这一关键部分的所有生活。
Should patients be told they are dying? How do families react when one of their members is facing death? Who should reveal that death is imminent? How does hospital staff--doctors, nurses, and attendants--act toward the dying patient and his family? Death, as a social ritual, is one of the great turning points in human existence, but prior to this classic work, it had been subjected to little scientific study. American perspectives on death seem strangely paradoxical--the brutal fact of death is confronted daily in our newspapers yet Americans are unwilling to talk openly about the process of dying itself. Awareness of Dying, using a highly original theory of awareness, examines the dying patient and those about him in social interaction, it gives us a language and tools of analysis for understanding who knows what about dying, under what circumstances, and what difference it makes. The authors use their finely detailed observations to develop theoretical constructs that will be of use in many other interactions and situations. Awareness of Dying was the first study of dying in hospitals, and has proven a useful handbook for chaplains, social workers, nurses, and doctors in confronting the many ethical and personal problems that arise in the dying situation. Now available in paperback, it is destined to reach new audiences interested in this key part of all life.
