This is the first grounded theory book, now published in four languages. Its resounding success led to the seminal codification of classic grounded theory methodology, in "Discovery of Grounded Theory”. At the time of the study, American physicians were quite reluctant to disclose impending death to their patients. The book addresses the social psychological problems of dying in hospitals when the patient knows and does not know, with varying degrees between, that he/she is dying. It focuses on the effects of interaction and tactics used by nurses in care of the dying patient within different awareness contests.

开始新的研究方向。医学社会学为数不多的专著。可以看出缜密的逻辑和扎实的调研,当然还有啰哩啰嗦的表述。扎根理论入门书。

在60年代开启了实证田野研究的新方向。这本书是系列的第一本(1965),探讨awareness。两位能够把死亡的过程分解成那么多不同层次(在后续的书里),相当值得学习。
