Beskrivning

For many years, debate has raged as to whether children are capable of embarking on a true mourning process. In When a Child Grieves, Corinne Masur provides an excellent overview of the myriad psychoanalytic theories on the subject and demonstrates conclusively that children can and do mourn. She describes how children and adolescents experience grief and how the mourning process can go awry. Dr Masur provides ample guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents struggling with their grief, alongside a multitude of clinical examples to illustrate her salient points. One detailed and poignant case history is returned to throughout the book, that of a three-year-old who lost his father to suicide.This sensitive and important work fills a void in the literature and will become a key text for trainees and qualified psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, clinicians, and other professionals working with bereaved children.

Recensioner i media

From the beginning, this book intimately engages the reader, offering a means to understand childhood grief through the study of relevant literature, while at the same time evoking an emotional intensity that allows us to connect with our own experiences of loss. […] A book such as this can help us to think about loss, death and grief by providing a containing framework in which to understand the relationship between external events and our internal worlds.
