About the Book
Long recognised as the most authorative work of its kind, this new edition of
Bereavement brings a classic text right up to date. In the ten years since publication of the second edition there has been a considerable increase in scientific understanding of bereavement and its effects. Colin Murray Parkes re-examines his findings in the light of the latest research and draws on his own research to develop some new theories.
* Standard work for training in human services
* New findings from Attachment Theory
* New chapters on Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and AIDS
Dr Parkes has played a major part in organizations for the bereaved and in the hospice movement. He is president of
Cruse - Bereavement Care and joint editor (with Dr Dora Black) of the international journal
Bereavement Care.
