Grief and Bereavement News:
The Shame of Death, Grief, and Trauma
Shame is a common and pervasive feature of the human response to death and other losses, yet this often goes unrecognized due to a reluctance to acknowledge and confront it.
This book intends to expose shame for what it is, allowing clinicians to see that it is the central psychological force in the understanding of death and mourning.
Kauffman and his fellow authors explore the psychology of shame via observation, reflection, theory, and practice in order to demonstrate the significant role it can play in our processing of grief, death, and trauma.
Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Women Mourn, Revised Edition
This book is a revision of Men Don’t Cry, Women Do: Transcending Gender Stereotypes of Grief.
In this work, Doka and Martin elaborate on their conceptual model of "styles or patterns of grieving" – a model that has generated both research and acceptance since the publication of the first edition in 1999.
In that book, as well as in this revision, Doka and Martin explore the different ways that individuals grieve, noting that gender is only one factor that affects an individual’s style or pattern of grief.
