Death is a much avoided topic. Literature does exist on mourning, but its focus remains upon the death of others. The fact of one’s own mortality and its inevitable psychic impact on one’s life is not optimally covered either in this literature or elsewhere in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Bringing together contributions from distinguished psychoanalysts, The Wound of Morality fills this gap by addressing the issue of death in a comprehensive manner.
