Discute a formação do psicologo e como o tema da morte e contemplado nessa formação, na medida em que, como profissional de saúde, tem a morte no seu cotidiano profissional. Discute a inserção do tema da morte na graduação em psicologia, tracando um histórico de algumas experiencias entrangeiras. Descreve a criação e implantação de um curso de psicologia da morte no instituto de psicologia da USP, como disciplina optativa, apresentando objetivo, programa, estrategias e bibliografia, seguidos de reflexões e duvidas surgidas nesse processo. Analisa os discursos orais e escritos de 41 alunos que frequentaram o curso, apresenta suas representações de morte, motivos de escolha do curso e expectativas de seu trabalho diante da morte. Avalia o curso junto com os alunos, salientando os pontos positivos e negativos e as sugestões de modificação. Conclui que o curso psicologia da morte deve ser mantido devido a sua importância para a formação dos psicólogos da USP, e sugere que outros cursos de psicologia e os demais da área de saúde tomem esta experiencia como exemplo para a formação de um profissional mais sensível as necessidades de seus clientes / Death is one of man\'s basic worries as it is to Psychology, whose subject is the human being. If death is a social interdict, it can\'t be for the psychologist, that as a health professional, has death in his everyday work. The absence of the subject death in the Psychology Undergraduate Pro­ gram is pointed out. This issue is analysed and experiences of Death Education Courses in the EUA are referred. We suggest the creation of an optative course \"Psychology of Death\" in the Psychology Course at University of São Paulo, to sensibilize and stimulate reflection and discussion about death. The purposes, program, strategies and bibliography of the course are presented. Based on the analysis of oral and written accounts of 41 students that attended the course, we present their representations of death, the reasons for their choice of the course, and their expectations of dealing with death in their work. The course was evaluated by the teacher and students, being emphasized the positive and negative points, as well as, the modifications suggered. The conclusion was for the maintenance of the course \"Psychology of Death\" for two reasons. Firstly it has shown itself to be important in the formation process of the undergraduates in Psychology at the USP. Secondly, due to the need for both Psychology courses and others in the area of Health to take this experience as an example to prepare professionals more sensible to the needs of their clients

Abstract Introduction and Background: Euthanasia has expanded significantly around the world over the past years. The debate concerning euthanasia has focused on the legalization, complex issues faced by the medical team, and perspective on assisted dying. Euthanasia known as assisted suicide is a deliberate medical procedure of intentionally withholding treatment or withdrawing life-support measures to end the life of a suffering patient. Purpose Statement: To define euthanasia and its background as well as discuss the psychological and moral effects that surround the subject. Literature Review: Five articles were selected. Quantitative and exploratory qualitative studies were obtained from existing literature, collection of data and statistics from relevant publications, peer-reviewed analysis, and original research papers with a focus on psychological and moral effects on participating, healthcare professionals. Findings: Participation in euthanasia can have significant emotional and psychological impacts on participating healthcare professionals which can lead to long-term personal and professional effects. Some are unsupportive of this practice while some were supportive of it. Conclusion: Despite the importance of this topic to medical practice, there are limited studies on addressing the psychological and moral impacts of euthanasia on participating healthcare professionals. Future research needs to explore how health professionals are negatively emotionally affected by their involvement in assisted suicide

Fragmentation is a basic symptom of loss, and poetry naturally reflects this disjointing and destructive effect. The fracturing within the poetic form reflects the internal and repeated fracturing effects of trauma on one's own life. In this poetry collection, A Strange Kind of Dying, the speaker is bound by the question, "How is it that I can piece myself back together?" The collection of poetry is meant to help the speaker to find healing from the fragmentation through language. The work is intended to be an act of transfer, passing on one human experience to another. The structure of the poems are eclectic in style to reflect the themes of fragmentation, disruption, and separation, making a strong connections between theme, content, and form. To achieve this aesthetic, I incorporate the formal and tonal qualities found within the poetic stylings of the lyric, elegiac, formalist, and confessional. By overlaying the above mentioned styles, tones, forms, and poetic concerns, I believe that my works contribute to poetry because it is a contemporary, poetic representation of the destroyed self. That is, it is an expression of how someone of today, in our modern, technological, and fast paced world, deals with the halting, and at time, paralyzing effects of loss, grief and trauma.

The problem of grief has been described as the pandemic within the pandemic. This project believes that the church can provide a holistic response to the bereaved through inclusive events, education, and a devotion to embracing a changing spiritual landscape. Through memorial ritual, proactive education and supportive relationships, grief can be transformational and nurture a positive spirituality grounded in welcoming Christianity. This ministry is applied at the First Congregational Church in the town of West Boylston, Massachusetts, a small mill town outside of Worcester with a long history of communal loss prior to the loss of the pandemic. / 2025-05-23T00:00:00Z

According to Michel Foucault, life has become the focus of an infinite amount of both micro and macro management strategies, the point of which being to optimize health and to prolong life. Foucault labeled such strategies as " bio-power." While bio-power exists on many levels of society, my focus has been on certain medical technologies that have helped to expose the political nature of death by calling into question the time of death and who decides it. As the line between life and death has become more and more indistinct, Giorgio Agamben has argued that bio-politics turns into "thanatopolitics" — a politics of death. As Agamben argues, death is not a biological moment but a political decision. In this study I will focus specifically on reconsidering the relations of power surrounding the decision to stop preserving life in the particular space of the hospital room. I will then attempt to consider how our exposure to death in this space of power might be resisted using both the insights of Foucault and Agamben. / Master of Arts
