Grief and Bereavement

About the Book

This book on grief and bereavement describes and recommends individual and group activities and techniques for use in therapy with children, adolescents, adults, and couples, and at the same time, offers connections to models and theories for use by those clinicians and educators that want to deepen their understanding of what drives the recommended treatments. Clinical vignettes demonstrate the application of the activities and techniques. A bonus offered in the book is that each chapter stands alone for quick reference or use.
