Thanatology is the scientific study of death. This Doctor Ph.D. Degree deals with the understanding of death and how it affects individuals. Thanatology does not include palliative care, the medical treatment for dying individuals, or forensic studies. It focuses on grief and bereavement issues, counseling, and the religious concepts of dying and death from the perspective of both the dying and bereaved. Thanatology intends to support and care those facing or coping with death, or dealing with the terminally ill.
