Written by a key founder in the field of loss and trauma, this is the first book to bring together the twin fields of loss and trauma. It: * reviews theory and research on a sampling of loss and trauma phenomena that include losses due to the death of close others, divorce and dissolution, losses due to disease processes and injuries, losses due to unemployment and homelessness, war and violence, and the Holocaust and genocide * discusses relevant therapy approaches and emphasizes a story-telling approach to coping with major loss * contains scores of stories of persons confronting stress and of the courage displayed by so many in the face of profound loss in their personal lives * includes consideration of cross-cultural, international perspectives on loss, exploring both universal and individual characteristics of different groups
Industry Reviews
"The breadth of the treatment of loss and trauma is a major strength. To bring together the research on loss and trauma not limited to specific categories and place it in various theoretical contexts makes a valuable contribution to the literature." -- Alban Wheeler "The author has a particular perspective of loss and its consequences that is compelling and already has resulted in a substantial literature. . . . The reputation of the author is a strength that few, if any, social scientists can match . . . . His systematic investigation of loss from a variety of perspectives and in several modes (empirical and literary) bring a breadth of inquiry that has not been addressed in other volumes on the subject." -- Scotty Hargrove
