Summary:	Summarizes the major themes in bereavement research and clinical work and uses the authors' own cutting-edge research to show mental-health practitioners how to integrate these themes into their practice. The book summarizes state-of-the-art thinking in the field and provides clinicians with a framework for exploring their own emotional and intellectual assumptions about loss, trauma and bereavement. The authors offer the clinical framework of their successful and empirically validated Two-Track Model of Bereavement focusing on continuing bonds with the deceased and continuing with life. Psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, strategic and family therapy are considered in depth. Expanding horizons for intervention address culture, clinical challenges and resilience. Written for knowledgeable clinicians, this book is useful for healthcare professional and others interested in the conceptual, personal, and professional dimensions of the human encounter with the bereaved.
