Riassunto

Cultural aspects of aging, suicide among the elderly, and euthanasia are addressed in this collection of work by contributors in psychiatry, suicide research, and medical ethics. Chapters overview the relationship between socio-economic, psychological, and family factors and suicidal behavior and look at physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. The role of the elderly and attitudes toward euthanasia and assisted suicide are described in nine countries, including Japan, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Hong Kong, and Australia. This work lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
