Abstract
This investigation attempted to assess the impact of a death and dying course and to examine unique death-related attitudes of students choosing to enroll in suck a course. Results showed no significant pretest-posttest differences on a variety of dependent measures for either the experimental or the control group. Results did indicate, however, initial differences between the two groups, suggesting that students enrolling in a death and dying course have more favorable attitudes toward both suicide and abortion. The assumption that death education serves a therapeutic function was also examined.Keywords
