Grieving over death is an innate, vital process that most people are able to experience and emerge from in a healthy manner. This revised third edition offers new counselling techniques, incorporating a refined basic model of mourning, and added information on special types of mourning including children's violent death, grief and the elderly, and anticipatory grief.

Customer Reviews

Classic text, well used, highly recommended
I've been using this book in my clinical practice for 12 years, coming to buy it again now as one of my trainees has run off with it. It is a classic text in the field; readable, practical, drawing on sound humanistic and cognitive-behavioural principles and it works. It outlines "normal" grief with various theories as to the stages people pass through as they come to terms with bereavement. Worden then presents a range of complicated grief reactions and clear guidance for the therapist aiming to help someone stuck in their grief.
