Dennis Klass, Webster University, Dying, Death and Grief is written
for anyone who provides support to adults following bereavement.
Whether in a professional or voluntary capacity, bereavement care
requires empathy, judgement and skill to ensure your response matches
the needs of the person you are helping. Recognizing that we all
experience bereavement differently, this book introduces theory and
skills which can be used in any context to address a wide range of
needs. The author explains the theoretical background to attachment
and loss and the core skills needed to support people who have been
bereaved. Case studies and personal accounts illustrate key points and
exercises help you examine your own experiences and attitudes in
relation to loss. The book also takes into account topics frequently
overlooked in other texts, such as sexuality, spiritual responses to
loss, cultural influences and diversity, as well as the nature of
chronic and disenfranchised grief. Dying, Death and Grief is designed
for use on a wide range of training and academic courses that prepare
practitioners to work with the bereaved. Professionals in a range of
settings including hospitals and in the community as well as
volunteers and be-frienders in hospices and nursing homes will find
this a useful source of guidance. Brenda Mallon is a counsellor,
trainer and author who specialises in bereavement care. She is vice
chair of The Grief Centre, Manchester Area Bereavement Forum.
