Senicide in history and ethnography -- The meaning of senicide today -- Forms of senicide -- On the ethics of dealing with senicide.

Raimund Pousset gives in this essential a concise account of senicide, the modern form of cultural killing of the elderly. He sheds light on both the history and the current situation of an ancient method. Practiced for millennia almost everywhere in the world, this custom of actively disposing of old 'useless' people or passively putting oneself to death is increasingly being revived today. Senicide is a nameless and silent scandal in our modern, enlightened society. The author wishes to bring this silent death into the focus of a mindful professional public, for the segregation of old age and the avalanche of costs in health care suggest that senicide will continue to grow in sad significance. The content - Senicide in history and ethnography - The meaning of senicide today - Forms of senicide - On the ethics of dealing with senicide The target groups - Lecturers and students of gerontology, palliative medicine, psychology, sociology, theology, philosophy, ethnology, history, jurisprudence and cultural studies - Doctors, nurses, hospice and euthanasia workers, clergy, social workers, educators and ethicists. The author Raimund Pousset, a qualified educationalist with additional training in supervision and psychotherapy, taught supervision as a senior lecturer at a technical college for organisation and management as well as gerontology and education at a technical college for social education and in geriatric care. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com) A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
