title: [Perimortal management--humanistic assignment and responsibility. Attempt at status determination].
abstract: The scientific research and practical use of all questions concerning life demands interdisciplinary cooperation. This is the result of neglection of death and dying and new social and medical developments as there are institutionalisation of dying and scientific-technical progress. The foundation of the working group "perimortal medicine" in 1983 in the Association for clinical medicine gives the possibility to discuss theoretical and practical questions concerning the end of life, death and dying. It seems to be important, that also bereavement and sympathy belongs to the topics. The results will help to develop the quality of care for the dying and the survivors.
