The question of death is a taboo all over the world. Issues related to it (fear of death, mourning-reactions etc.) are rarely discussed even between medical doctors. The fact that the majority of the authors doesn't differentiate between the problems when dealing with them (e.g. fear of own, or other person's death) plays an important role in the theoretical and empirical contradictions of death-topic. The special literature give particularly little attention to fear of death concerning suicide what makes the judgement of the problem of fear of death even harder in the contradictory attitudes of medical doctors towards death.
