This edited volume explores the wide range of practice situations across the human services in which issues loss and grief are likely to be important.

Addressing the social and political dimensions of loss and grief as well as the psychological dimensions, this text brings together contributors from a variety of disciplines, professional background and countries, including such renowned figures as Dame Cicely Saunders and Robert A.Neimeyer.
