Full Description:
Many factors influence how individuals
experience and adapt to loss. Among these are the nature of
the loss, the relationship and attachment to the loss, the
circumstances surrounding the loss, personal variables, and
social variables.
This volume examines the ways in which
these key aspects of identity affect how individuals grieve.
Specifically explored are the effects of such variables as
culture, spirituality, age and developmental level, class and
gender on the ways individuals grieve. The book will serve to
remind caregivers that special consideration should be paid
to such variables in working with clients and designing
interventive and supportive programs. Additionally, the book
offers reassurance to survivors of loss, reminding them of
the many reasons their grief is unique.
