Abstract
Abstract It is estimated that 8 million people have undergone a near-death experience (NDE) within the United States today (1). Clinical documentation of this phenomenon has been reported by physicians and nurses, mostly in the area of critical care. Some psychologists have also noted patient reporting of NDEs while under care. Taking into account the improved medical interventions used in bringing people back from states of clinical death, the potential for professional exposure among health care professionals is high. If denied a chance to share their experience with others who might assist in “normalizing” their near-death event, individuals who have undergone an NDE may become severely depressed. It is evident that this is an area of clinical concern that should warrant educational involvement within the fields of health education, psychology, and related human service professions so as to meet better the emotional needs of near-death clients. Some suggestions for meeting these needs are also included.
