EHP 3520 - Existential and Multicultural Perspectives on Death, Loss, and Meaning

Death is a given for all people. How people people experience death-facing their own and facing the death of others-is strongly influenced by culture. This course addresses the universal (i.e., existential) and particular (i.e., cultural and personal) aspects of death and meaning. Important existential perspectives, such as Ernest Becker and Irvin Yalom, will be considered along with various cultural approaches to death and meaning. Consideration is given to how those in the heping professions can help individuals facing their own death or the death of loved ones in a culturally sensitive manner. 3 credit(s)
