Reviews
The reader will find in these pages compellingly personal accounts of illness and healing, alongside probing reflections on problems arising in forensic labs, palliative care units, and bereavement services. Likewise, authors of various chapters mine the wealth of China's ancient spiritual and medical traditions to find resources of relevance to modern life. Far from merely anthropological in intent, the book also offers a good deal of practical knowledge concerning end-of-life care and bereavement support, which, although rooted in the Hong Kong experience, has something to teach us all. Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Chair, International Work Group on Death, Dying & Bereavement
