WSU PsychologistSays Adults Fear
Mention of Death
Wayne State University pscholo-
gist Dr. Robert J. Kastenbaum is
co-author of a work, "Psycholo-
gical Autopsy," in which he de-
scribes "an art of dying" and
levels a finger at parents who try
to explain death to children with
tales such as "Uncle Charlie is
only sleeping."
Says Dr. Kastenbaum: "When a
child asks for the facts of life, he's
not just asking 'Where did I come
from, Daddy?' but 'Where am I
going?'
"You wonder how a child's mind
adapts to the meaning of death
when he sees comic strip charac-
ters who die and come back to life
the _next day, or` newsreels which
constantly show death around
them," he says.
"Some things in our genaration
have done a lot to kill the curi-
osity of kids about death."
The Wayne State "death expert"
says one should speak simply,
truthfully and reassuringly to chil-
dren when a household pet or a
relative dies, without falling back
on fairy stories made up, ::bout
death which "are really only for
our reassurance."
Many doctors have a hard time
integrating death into their own
practice, The WSU psychologist
explains the doctor is usually too
busy to tell the patient or, more

truthfully, he can't do it emotion-
ally.
"At this point, he should dele-
gate the job to somebody else—a
relative of the patient, a chaplain
or a social worker—a person who
can take all of the tension out of
the situation.
"However, before anybody can
tell a patient that he is going to
die, he must know the patient as
a person," say Dr. Kastenbaum.
The hospital situation doesn't
have to be the way it is, Dr. Kas-
tenbaum believes. It really should
be altered so that somebody in the
hospital knows the patient as a
person and knows the family.
"Without question, hospitals today
are too impersonal," he says.
Skin Donations
Aid Burn Victim
Thirteen-year-old Gary Shapiro
of Southfield, who was burned
over 70 per cent of his body in a
barbecue cooking fire last June,
has a new chance at life, thanks
to many donations of skin.
Gary, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Shapiro of Adrian Ave., has
been recuperating at Children's
Hospital. After an appeal went out,
hundreds of persons called to do-
nate skin. The donor skin does not
graft onto the boy, but prevents
loss of liquid and halts infection
so that the boy's unburned graft-
able areas may grow.
The skin of a cadaver can be
donated, provided that it is used
within two hours after death. The
body must be healthy. Although
the skins of a cadaver and of a
heart attack patient have been of-
fered, still more is needed to cover
the burned areas until the boy is
completely cured.
Anyone who desires informa-
tion may contact Dr. James R.
Lloyd, the boy's doctor, at Chil-
dren's Hospital, Burn Center.

This challenging book asserts:
"If teachers in the primary school
are to help themselves to achieve
more favorable status in their own
eyes and in the eyes of the general
public, they will need more ade-
quate training in their preparation
for teaching, more stimulating
leadership from their professional
organizations and more under-
standing of the importance of
their role from society in general."
