Providing the clinician with an understanding of the experience of grieving parents, this text is a concise clinical on how best to assist the bereaved parent. The authors combine their extensive experience and expertise with persons who have undergone loss, with their empirical research on this topic.

Recenzje

"I was particularly struck by the authors' balance between acknowledging what research can tell us whilst accepting the individual differences which might be encountered in practice...They recommend a stance which they call 'expert companionship' which blends human compassion with a degree of expertise that may not be available from friends and relatives: 'expertise is woven into your interactions, rather than revealed through knowledge'." - David Trickey, Chartered Clinical Psychologist in BereavementCare, Vol. 25, No.1.
