Review

A book of outstanding value. It offers wise counsel and thoroughly informed understanding to those who have experienced loss and to those who would help them.--Robert S. Weiss, Harvard Medical School

This comprehensive and authoritative work springs from Dr. Raphael's long, personal experience in the field as a leading researcher and sensitive therapist. With its many telling vignettes and up-to-date references, it will be welcomed by teachers and students alike.--John Bowlby, The Tavistock Clinic

Beverley Raphael's volume is an invaluable addition to the literature on grieving, mourning, and bereavement. . . . The book, very well written, is filled with clinical reports that illustrate and amplify the more theoretical constructs that she presents. . . . It will be an excellent reference book and a fine introduction to an ever significant field of study.--George H. Pollock, M.D., Ph.D. "American Journal of Psychiatry "
