It will be of particular value to professionals and volunteers who care for and about people lost in the maze of bereavement. I couldn't put it down. - Colin Murray Parkes This book provides a long awaited resource for anyone embarking upon the journey of understanding grief in their role of supporting those that are bereaved. An essential read for anyone involved in the field of bereavement. - Elizabeth Thomas, Cruse Bereavement Care, Bereavement Volunteer and Trainer With Understanding Grief: An Introduction, Richard Gross aims to provide an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the major models of grief, focusing on the individual experience of bereavement just as on how bereavement is experienced in relation to the social, cultural, and religious contexts... The author certainly successed in his aim of providing a comprehensive introduction to the major models of grief. Furhtermore, he does an excellent job in emphasizing the importance of contextualizing the loss in order to better understanding individuals' grief following bereavement and helping the bereaved... The author also does a great job in examining the many topics surrounding the experience of grief while generally maintaining a smooth and very clear writing style. [The] brief summaries provided at the end of every chapter can be of good help... for singling out the most relevant information. - Flavia Felletti, University of Barcelona, metapsychology.net
