The uniquely human awareness of death causes potentiall y debilitating terror that we “manage” by embracing cultural worldviews tha t give us a sense that we are valuable persons in a meaningful universe, an d thus eligible for literal or symbolic immortality. The quest for immortal ity underlies some of humankind’s most noble achievements. However, it also engenders some of our most ignominious affectations, including: disdain fo r people with different beliefs; unwavering support for charismatic leaders ; contempt for the environment; insatiable pursuit of money and stuff; and reckless disregard for our physical well-being. Research demonstrates that death anxiety affects almost every domain of our lives. Understanding the r ole of death in life by helping professionals will improve assessment and t reatment both individually and systemically, ultimately promoting physical, emotional, and societal wellbeing. This course will include psychological, philosophical and anthropological insights, illustrated with historical an d contemporary examples and verified by research. It will be of interest to anyone who applies behavioral science to professional practice, including therapists, lawyers, clergy, business leaders, and teachers.
