The chapters in each section are rich with theoretical and clinical wisdom and insights that will be helpful to the clinician, theorist, researcher, and interested reader. Highly recommended.

The Handbook of Traumatic Loss analyzes many different types of traumatic loss in a notable effort to achieve a holistic appreciation of both the individuals affected and the social contexts in which such losses occur. The result is a distinctive contribution to improving understandings of the complex challenges presented by traumatic losses and to developing better ways of responding to those affected by such encounters.
