| Summary |
The ability to counsel people who have been bereaved or have suffered a devastating loss is of vital importance to all those in the helping professions, calling upon a whole array of skills and knowledge. This book, written by two experienced bereavement counsellors, provides a practical, accessible guide to this very important and specialized area of counselling. Geraldine Humphrey and David Zimpfer take readers step by step through the counselling skills they need to work with their clients in a way which sensitively facilitates the process of grief, initiates healing and promotes a sense of growth. Carefully chosen case examples illustrate each step along the way, while specific attention is paid throughout the book to ethics and to the possible and realistic need for referral. Providing a firm theoretical base, the authors discuss the concepts and categories of attachment, loss and grief |
