	Introduction / S.E.I.T. - Spanish & International Society of Thanatology
		Thanatology, just the way we understand it, is a very broad discipline and quite difficult to approach by the multiple sides and diverse fields of analysis that interrelates (multidiscipliner).
		Nevertheless the main aim of Thanatology is to demystify the death and dying learning to coexist with it.
		We conceive Thanatology from the S.E.I.T., as a discipline of professional aid, where the person is seen from a holistic approach, with capacity to live with plenitude.

	Thanatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thanatology is the academic, and often scientific, study of death among human beings.
		In most cases, thanatology is studied as a means towards the end of providing palliative care for dying individuals and their families.
		There is also a branch of thanatology called music-thanatology which focuses on the use of "music vigils" to help the individual and their family.

	Thanatology
		Thanatology is the academic study of death and dying.
		Thanatology is not the same subject as palliative care, which is a medical specialty covering pain and symptom management in dying patients.
		Thanatology also differs from non-specific grief support, a general service which many psychologists, clergy, and health care personnel may provide.

		I learned that the name for the study of death and dying was thanatology.
		It was impressed on the nursing student that it was extremely important to develop an understanding of the impact of death and dying on the terminally ill patient, his family and those caring for that patient in the last stage of his life.

	Parableman: Thanatology and Eschatology
		For background, the sermon was on a philosophy of death (thanatology) in the Bible, stemming primarily from Ecclesiastes 12 and Psalm 90.
		In particular, he has an ongoing project of unifying amillenial and postmillenial views of eschatology by taking the sanest versions of each and retaining what's central and then realizing that the two resulting views are perfectly consistent and both very clearly biblical.
		I wanted to flag this because of his connection between thanatology and eschatology, which I think is worth reading.

	IONS - Review #31 (Autumn 1994) - Music for the Dying
		Music thanatology is not the same thing as music therapy, but is a close relative and ally.
		Music thanatology, on the other hand, is historically rooted in monastic medicine, and today flourishes as a palliative medical modality.
		In its clinical focus, it includes all of the characteristics of music therapy, but differs from it because it is solely concerned with addressing the complex needs of the dying.

		The term thanatology--the multi-disciplinary study of death, dying and bereavement--has been common in North America for some decades, and I have been dreading the introduction of the word into the British Isles.
		Though thanatologists are committed to promoting death education and open discussion of mortality (and certainly Kenny, like many American thanatologists, writes very clearly and without jargon), "thanatology" is an invented word from the Greek, the latest in a genre that includes gynaecology, psychiatry and a whole host of "ologies" that mystify and disempower.
