We have used whatever we had at our disposal to mourn, to support, to share memories and to tell stories. Carla J. Sofka, Illene Noppe Cupit, and Kathleen R. Gilbert√  reaffirm that principle reminding us that this new digital world both offers dramatic technologies and creates considerable opportunities to deal with dying, death, and grief. The editors are extraordinarily sensitive to the multiple ways that this new technology has impacted upon the death system or the ways that a society organizes behavior around dying and death. \u003ci\u003eDying, Death, and Grief in an Online Universe\u003c\/i\u003e is bound to be a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eKenneth J Doka\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD\u003cbr\u003e Professor, The College of New Rochelle\u003cbr\u003e Senior Consultant, The Hospice Foundation of America \u003cp\u003eModern communication technology has profoundly influenced societal practices and views about dying, death, and loss.

It describes the proliferation of online support groups and social network sites to cope with loss, and mechanisms for the memorialization and commemoration of loss. It also highlights blogging as a mechanism for storytelling and SKYPE as a communication tool during times of loss and grief. The unique issue of disenfranchised grief experienced by online community members is also explored along with ethical issues. Appendices provide guidance regarding the online availability of different types of informational support, tools to evaluate the integrity of online resources, and ethical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the ways in which modern communication technology has revolutionized societal practices and views about dying, death, and loss \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers time-tested strategies for providing death education online \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses ethical issues related to availability and use of technology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores the implications of the digital divide between technology and non-technology users in relation to issues of death and loss \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalyzes how technology has shaped and changed thanatology research \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Sofka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.06w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826107329\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40201471885427,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":60.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_647997e7-7aee-4259-b240-6ae9184fbe4e.jpg?v=1656165992","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/dying-death-and-grief-in-an-online-universe-for-counselors-and-educators-9780826107329","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
