“The book is intended as ‘a valuable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, students, counselors, psychiatric nurses, social workers, and all medical professionals working with patients struggling with bereavement and grief reactions.’ While all of those in the intended audience would benefit from this book, it would likely be most helpful for those active in therapy and counseling given the treatment courses the book discusses. Clergy members also would benefit from this book.” (Aaron Plattner, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2018)
