AIMS & SCOPE
This Journal brings insight into terminal illness; the process
of dying, bereavement, mourning, funeral customs, suicide. Fresh, lucid,
responsible contributions from knowledgeable professionals in universities,
hospitals, clinics, old age homes, suicide prevention centers, funeral
directors and others, concerned with thanatology and the impact of death
on individuals and the human community. OMEGA is a rigorously peer-refereed
journal.
Drawing significant contributions from the fields of psychology, sociology,
medicine, anthropology, law, education, history and literature, OMEGA
has emerged as the most advanced and internationally recognized forum on
the subject of death and dying. It serves as a reliable guide for clinicians,
social workers, and health professionals who must deal with problems in
crisis management, e.g., terminal illness, fatal accidents, catastrophe,
suicide and bereavement.
