Full Description
First published in 1998. Working with the Dying and Bereaved illustrates how therapists can use a systemic approach to help families facing death and bereavement. This approach considers the individual in a broader, more holistic concept than traditional theories. This book provides a broad theoretical framework and practical strategies for systemic therapeutic work. Each chapter demonstrates how each approach has been applied by the therapist to work within a particular model, carefully outlining the particular technique used.
