Stevenson, Robert G. (Hrsg.): Children, Adolescents, and Death

Children, Adolescents, and Death provides information that can be used to address the death-related questions from children and adolescents. It also looks at questions from caring adults about the way children or adolescents view death and the grief that follows a death or any major loss."In this brilliantly researched book, the greatest experts have shared their skillfully blended tools into a volume of readable, compelling, and penetrating insights. What a magnificent contribution for all who are concerned with the grief experiences of children and youth!" Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, DHL, DD, author of Talking about Death: A Dialogue Between Parent and Child "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. We're all too ready, hungry for this book of readily accessible resources and action plans to help support children and ourselves in this current net-age fraught with disasters, man-made and natural." Sandra Bertman, PhD, FT, author of Facing Death: Images, Insights & Interventions; Grief and the Healing Arts: Creativity as Therapy "This book provides a comprehensive look at the issues faced by bereaved children and adolescents. It presents, in detail, what we know about grieving children, as well as specific ways to facilitate their mourning process. There is something here for everyone-bereaved parents, school personnel, mental health workers, and all who are faced with the normative but often challenging behavior of grieving kids. Readers can select from a potpourri of topics that pertain to their current questions and interests." J. William Worden, PhD ABPP, codirector of the Harvard Child Bereavement Study and author of Children and Grief: When a Parent Dies
