Designed for use with accompanying videotapes as single presentations or as a series for professionals or laypeople, or as supplementary modules in academic courses in psychology, marriage and family, health occupations, etc., these four learning modules focus on common phases of dying and grief as part of the normal cycle of living. The modules cover: (1) "The Dying Process: The Dying Person"; (2) "The Dying Process: Relating to the Dying Person"; (3) "Dealing with Loss: Grief as a Universal Experience"; and (4) "The Importance of Rituals: The Celebration of Death." Each of the modules states learning objectives; provides an outline of the videotape's content with instructions for its use in the classroom; contains an instructor's guide; suggests learning activities and discussion topics; and provides written materials for handouts. The modules also include annotated bibliographies of useful books, literary works, films and filmstrips, and an evaluation form. (AYC)
