_Working with Grief and Traumatic Loss: Theory, Practice, Personal
Reflection, and Self-Care_ provides clinicians with a wide range of
personal loss and grief examples from seasoned therapists while also
considering grief through the lens of diverse cultural, religious, and
theoretical perspectives. This unique text shares practicing
clinicians’ personal journeys of loss in myriad forms, including
spousal, child and parental death, suicide, genocide, mass disasters,
loss of physical health, miscarriage and beyond, in order to
strengthen the frameworks through which grief is viewed, help readers
more deeply understand its global context, and emphasize the relevance
of personal experience when engaging in practice.
Opening chapters review historical and modern theories of grief and
loss, bereavement, and mourning rituals, as well as current
evidence-based interventions and promising new practice methods. Later
chapters transition from theoretical constructs and current research
to intimate, personal stories of loss from licensed therapists, such
as psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and social workers
who experienced loss while in practice.
Readers are introduced to a wide range of perspectives on grief, loss,
and death with emphasized viewpoints from worldwide religions such as
Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism, and countries such as Taiwan, Kenya, and
Guatemala. Readers learn about the importance of integrating self-care
into practice and discover strategies for continued self-reflection
practices to maintain personal and professional health while
simultaneously supporting clients through their grief journey. The
book features classroom exercises and an annotated bibliography to
facilitate additional learning opportunities.
_Working with Grief and Traumatic Loss_ is an ideal resource for
social work, psychology, counseling, marriage and family, and grief
and loss courses, as well as clinicians interested in deepening their
practice.
