Book excerpt: Ontario-based clinical thanatologist Chaban traces Kubler-Ross' influence on the field and health science education over the past quarter century. She argues that her paradigms, which have dominated care of the dying in North America's health care system, may work in a general way to deal with most situations of loss, but may not be effective and specific enough to care for the dying or the bereaved or to provide occupational support for professional caregivers. Rather, she contends, thanatology must begin to distinguish itself within palliative or hospice care with specific clinical, educational, and research considerations. The treatise seems to have been a doctoral dissertation for the University of Wales. The text is double spaced. The computer-generated index is fairly useless.
