Opis

The text is designed to present a state-of the-art approach to the assessment and management of bereavement-related psychopathology. Written by experts in the field, book addresses the elevated urgency of bereavement from its former classification as an area for more research to its current DSM-5 status as a major depressive disorder, calling for greater recognition of bereavement-related psychopathology. The text introduces and reviews the theoretical background underlying bereavement-related psychopathology, addresses the issues faced by clinicians who assess bereaved individuals in different specific contexts, and reviews the management and different treatment approaches for individuals with grief reactions that include both medicated and non-medicated approaches.
Clinical Handbook of Bereavement and Grief Reactions is 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.

Recenzje

"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)
