Helping Bereaved Children: A Handbook for Practitioners

Social Work Practice with Children and Families

by Nancy Boyd Webb (Editor)

This indispensable casebook and text presents a range of therapeutic approaches and interventions for children who have experienced loss. Illustrated are ways to help preschoolers through adolescents cope with different forms of bereavement, including death in the family, school, or community. Solidly grounded in developmental psychology, the volume both elucidates the principles that guide interventions and offers detailed descriptions of the helping process. In-depth case material is presented in a handy two-column format that provides clinicians and students not only with the content of the sessions, but also with the practitioner's accompanying thoughts and rationale for intervention.

Read for script research. Interesting to read these cases and learn how therapists interact with those in need.

A wonderful, clinically applicable, and evidence-informed resource on guiding children through suffering in developmentally-appropriate ways.
