Drawing upon extensive interviews and assessments of school-age children who have lost a parent to death, this book offers a richly textured portrait of the mourning process in children. The volume presents major findings from the Harvard Child Bereavement Study and places them in the context of previous research, shedding new light on both the wide range of normal variation in children's experiences of grief and the factors that put bereaved children at risk.
Scientifically sound and clinically useful, this volume will be welcomed by child psychologists and psychiatrists; researchers, clinicians, and students in child and family psychology and bereavement; counselors; and other helping professionals who work with grieving families. It can serve as a text in advanced courses on bereavement, family and child therapy, and developmental psychopathology.
