Abstract
Death and dying courses have recently experienced very rapid proliferation. Such exuberant growth suggests the value of a pause to examine the strengths and the weaknesses of such courses. Our aim should be to try to minimize weaknesses, and to attempt to consolidate and to develop strengths. The present article seeks to contribute to an ongoing dialog on this subject by outlining a model syllabus for a broad-scale, introductory course on death and dying.Keywords
