Helps you explore and share your personal responses to dissection. This book shows the anatomy cadaver as a bridge spanning the chasm that lies between ignorance, darkness, and death on one side and knowledge, health, and life on the other.

Sandra Bertman is the author of Facing Death: Images, Insights, and Interventions (1991), editor of Grief and the Healing Arts: Creativity as Therapy (1999), and creator of the DVD and book project Art, Spirit, and Soul (forthcoming). At the University of Massachusetts, her teaching career in the departments of psychology (Boston campus) and psychiatry and medicine (Worcester) dates back to 1977. In 1995, for her pioneering work in Humanities and Medicine, and Psychology of Death and Dying, she was one of the recipients of the University of Massachusetts Award commemorating the University’s 125 years of service to the Commonwealth for Distinguished Professional Public Service.
