This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of death attitudes, existentialism, and spirituality, highlighting their interconnections. It reviews major theoretical models and applies them clinically to issues like infertility, bereavement, anxiety, and suicide. The text introduces meaning management theory, demonstrating its relevance in grief counseling. Death is examined as both a challenge to meaning and a chance to create it. The first section connects empirical research on death attitudes with philosophical and psychological literature on existentialism and spirituality. Part II presents recent empirical studies on topics such as end-of-life decisions and living with HIV. The final section addresses therapeutic applications for suicide, infertility, bereavement, and anxiety.
