At that time the field of thanatology, the study of death and dying, was still reasonably new and was dominated by research done by psychiatrists and social scientists. The most notable person in the field at the time was Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, who was widely credited with having brought thanatology into public view with the 1969 publication of her book On Death and Dying. Two research centers on death and dying were gaining national reputations: The Foundation of Thanatology in New York (Austin Kutscher, director), and the Center for Death Education and Research (Robert Fulton, director) at the University of Minnesota."}, "latest_revision": 7, "revision": 7, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2019-02-04T10:18:12.244176"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-08-17T03:04:50.132140"}}
