Abstract
It would be misleading of me to suggest that this Section intends to cover the area of death and dying. As with so many others the subject is vast, complex and highly specialized. We could not possibly deal with the particular problems of various populations who are approaching death, nor the problems of their relatives. We would also have to consider various models of care including some discussion on the various locations in which such care may be provided. However, it is hoped that these present contributions will provide a clear description of how some Psychologists are attempting to meet the apparent demand in the care of the dying and, to a lesser extent, of the bereaved.
