Beskrivning
The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful experiences that most of us will ever have to face in our lives. This book recognises that there is no single solution to the problems of bereavement but that an understanding of grief can help the bereaved to realise that they are not alone in their experience.Long recognised as the most authoritative work of its kind, this new edition has been revised and extended to take into account recent research findings on both sides of the Atlantic. Parkes and Prigerson include additional information about the different circumstances of bereavement including traumatic losses, disasters, and complicated grief, as well as providing details on how social, religious, and cultural influences determine how we grieve.Bereavement provides guidance on preparing for the loss of a loved one, and coping after they have gone. It also discusses how to identify the minority in whom bereavement may lead to impairment of physical and/or mental health and how to ensure they get the help they need. This classic text will continue to be of value to the bereaved themselves, as well as the professionals and friends who seek to help and understand them.

Recensioner i media

"What makes this text unique is the writing ability of the author. Parkes, an obviously passionate researcher and practitioner, is able to weave eloquent verses on personal struggle with the more factual explanations of research-based studies on similar topics. The end result is a book that appeals to researchers, practitioners, and those who have recently suffered the loss of a loved one. His simultaneous ability to draw out the painful emotions of grief and the realistic information resentation from respected scholars makes Bereavement an easy recommendation for anyone interested in learning more about this topic." - Kelly A. Kagawa-Tabay, Activities, Adaptation & Ageing, Vol 35, 2011
