A Comparison of Terminally Ill Persons at Various Time Periods to Death.

Baugher, Robert J.; And Others

Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, v20 n2 p103-15 1989-90

Examined responses of 1,110 terminally ill persons with cancer at varying time periods prior to death. Disengagement and Objective Self-Awareness theories, which suggest that people nearing death would increase desire to separate from others, were not supported. Found few differences in responses of persons further from, or closer to, death. (Author/NB)
