The authors impart an understanding of the experience of grieving parents and offer a concise clinical guide that mental health professionals can use to best assist bereaved parents. An overview familiarizes the reader with the subject, literature and existing models and theories, and from there the authors build a framework for treating the bereaved. "Helping Bereaved Parents" emphasizes the importance of approaching each parent as a unique person, but the book also provides a sensitive overview of ways in which to understand bereaved parents within their own cultural contexts. |
