Death at work: existential and psychosocial perspectives on end-of-life care

This work explores how, in encounters with the terminally ill and dying, there is something existentially at stake for the professional, not only the patient.

It connects the professional and personal lives of the interviewees, a range of professionals working in palliative and intensive care.

Kjetil Moen discusses how the inner and outer worlds, the psychic and the social, and the existential and the cultural, all inform professionals' experience of work at the boundary between life and death.
