This text reveals the differences between Western and Japanese culture in relation to the historical background of the hospice movement, attitudes to death and dying and doctor-patient relationships. It considers difficulties in bringing Western hospice concept to Japan. At the same time, the research examines the possibility of Japan taking some features of the hospice care for its people without contaminating their long tradition of communal sharing of death and emotional issues and lack of a strong awareness of the fear of death as an individual.

First published in 1999, Maruyama explores some significant difficulties and differences in bringing the western hospice philosophy to the Japanese medical culture. Whilst not giving any definite answers, this study determines what some of the critical questions that need to be considered into Japanese medicine, as Mayuyama argues without defining these questions to begin with we cannot find appropriate solutions.

Providing much-needed focus on hospice projects in the context of unprecedented rates of societal ageing, this new reference book presents an overview of major recent developments in this rapidly evolving building type. The authors present an overview of the historical origins of the contemporary hospice and the diverse variations on the basic premise of hospice care, and offer a series of case studies of exemplary hospices. The most innovative work in this area over the past decade has been in Japan, the US, Canada and the UK, and the authors describe and analyze examples both as individual projects and as comparable yet differing approaches. Hospice Architecture will be essential reading for anyone involved in the planning, design and construction of hospices.

This book takes us beyond the usual writings about religious ministry. Itinvites us iinto closed communities, some more closed than others, and allows us to observe the day-to-day crisis ministries in whichthe chaplains areengaged. We visit battlefields, prisons, hospitals, hospice settings, college campuses, veterans' centers, and retirement facilities. The writer draws some interesting conclusions about the uniqueness of the chaplaincy and what the greater church can learn from this growing model.
