Facing Death Across Cultures

Stephen Henry Fox

This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the profound connections between culture, healthcare, and mortality. In a world where healthcare professionals ? doctors, nurses, clients, patients, and staff ? are increasingly engaging in cross-cultural interactions, this text equips readers with essential insights to navigate diverse beliefs and expectations surrounding health and treatment, particularly in moments of stress and vulnerability. While healthcare is often grounded in Euro-American belief systems, this book broadens the reader's perspective, offering essential tools to enhance intercultural understanding during health crises and end-of-life care. It empowers both patients and practitioners to adapt and collaborate, fostering better treatment outcomes by bridging cultural divides. Gaining this multicultural lens is not only crucial for healthcare and cross-cultural psychology but also for confronting the universal experience of mortality ? our own and that of our loved ones.
