A Comparative study of Death Anxiety of Old Persons

Dr.Bharat H.Mimrot

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The times we live in have been called the “age of anxiety” but probably every age or era of human history could be designated on the same way. Anxiety, fear and worry seem to be permanent parts of the human condition. Anxiety has been of central concern in the study of the individual. Three decades ago Freud wrote, the problem of anxiety is a nodal point, linking up all kinds of most important questions a riddle, of which the solution must cast a flood of light upon our whole mental life. There are different kinds of anxiety, & indeed research, suggests that there may be a number of different dimensions of anxiety which have little relationship to are another. Objective Versus Nonobjective Anxiety, Situational Versus General Anxiety, Acute Versus Chronic Anxiety, Conscious Versus Unconscious Anxiety.
