Loss and Bereavement (Health Psychology)

"This book aims to provide students with an understanding of important theoretical perspectives and specific models of adaptation to loss. It is assumed that loss and change are normal processes that occur within a social and cultural context, and the reader is introduced to historical and cultural perspectives which illustrate the diversity of approaches to loss. Major theoretical perspectives are explored to enable students to understand their origins and influence. This is a comprehensive text describing the variety of approaches available to understand the process of loss and bereavement."--Jacket.
