New Techniques of Grief Therapy (Series in Death, Dying, and Bereavement)

"New Techniques of Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond expands on the mission of the previous two volumes in the series, including new sections of special relevance to applications of grief therapy beyond dealing with bereavement following the death of the loved one. Featuring a set of innovative approaches to address the needs of those whose lives have been shadowed by loss, this volume covers topics such as the experience of serious illness, the rupture of a relationship, or other complex or intangible losses, such as of an identity-defining career. As with previous Techniques of Grief Therapy volumes, this book starts with several longer framing chapters by prominent theorists and practitioners that provide a big picture orientation to grief work. Following contributions convey creative therapeutic techniques in concrete detail, anchoring them in illustrative case studies and concluding thoughts to underscore adaptation of the material or relevant research on the technique. This book serves as an indispensable resource for professionals working in hospice, hospital, palliative care and elder care settings; clinicians in broader healthcare and mental health care practices; executive coaches; and students in the field of grief therapy"--
