Abstract

Hannelore Wass' enduring contribution to the field of thanatology focused on death education In addition to developing a journal initially focused on that topic, Wass also created one of the first text books in the field. This article explores the factors that caused death education to emerge in the late 1960's as well as issues that death education still faces as it continues to evolve.
