Grief Counseling and Grief Therapy: A Handbook for the Mental Health PractitionerIn this updated and revised third edition of his classic text, Dr. Worden presents his current thinking on bereavement drawn from extensive research, clinical work, and the best of the new literature. Readers will find new information on special types of losses -- including children's violent deaths, grief and the elderly, and anticipatory grief -- as well as refinements to his basic model for mourning. It now not only includes the four "tasks of mourning" but also seven "mediators of mourning." In addition, a series of vignettes, the best of the first and second editions plus several new to this edition, bring bereavement issues to life. |
