Abstract:

Our task now lies in utilizing encounters of members and staff with death as a basis for creative programming and individual treatment around the issues of autonomy, control and growth in the final stage of life. By interpreting to our members the value of this experience on this level, we can further enhance the quality of their lives as they prepare for their own death.
