Abstract
In" Experiences Near Death,"[the author] presents a... new approach to the field of" near-death studies," one that examines these episodes as they relate to the specific cultures from which they arise, helping us to understand what these visions are as a cultural and psychological response and why they occur. Kellehear compares near-death experiences [NDE] from all over the world—India, China, Guam, America, Australia, and New Zealand—revealing not only the similarities among them, but also the pertinent differences that can tell us much about the way people from different cultures view their world.... In addition, Kellehear provides an extensive look at community reactions to NDE, and he also offers an in-depth examination of much supposedly unbiased academic research into NDE.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
