Nonfinite Loss and Grief: A Psychoeducational Approach

by Elizabeth J. Bruce, Cynthia L. Schultz

Bruce (a counseling psychologist) and Schultz (public health, LaTrobe University) offer advice for counselors whose clients suffer persistent grief and continual disappointment. They suggest 14 therapeutic principles to help clients preserve their identity, regain control, and acknowledge the significance of the loss. They also describe the emotional, developmental, and behavioral factors that determine individual responses to loss. Complexities in the grieving process are also examined. Annotation c.
