The EBF is hosting it's 3rd Biannual Ernest Becker Summer Institute -
"Patient Directed Dying: Ethics and Care at Life's Ending". With hospice
care firmly established as an appropriate mode of attending to the  
dying and
palliative care expanding end of life treatment, this Institute seeks to
provide a timely opportunity for helping professions explore the
implications of Becker's thought for care of the dying and deepen our
understanding of the spiritual needs and resources of the dying in the  
midst
of the emotional and medical complexity of life's ending. The Ernest  
Becker
Summer Institute is intended to hospital and hospice chaplains,  
physicians,
nurses, social workers, pastoral counselors, hospice workers, parish  
clergy,
therapists and others interested in strengthening the spiritual  
dimensions
of care at the time of death.
If you are interested in a multidisciplinary approach to end of life  
issues,
please join us!
