Grief Counselling and Grief Therapy: A Handbook for the Mental Health Practitioner

"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.

Please note that this is not a self-help manual.
