Grief And Loss

In this supplementary text for a first course in grief and bereavement for students in counseling, Freeman (California State University) touches on topics in grief and loss that are not normally addressed in most texts. He reviews current approaches to the practice of grief counseling, covering different types of death experiences, attachment theory, grieving special types of losses, and unresolved grief, as well as children and loss, therapeutic interventions, families and grief, and caring for the caregiver. Selected national organizations and scholarly and professional journals are listed, and chapter reflection questions are included. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
