Helping Bereaved Children, Third Edition : A Handbook for Practitioners (2nd ed.)

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this popular casebook and text demonstrates a range of therapeutic approaches and interventions for children who have experienced loss.

In-depth case examples - several of which are new or include follow-up reports - form the core of the book.

Illustrated are ways to help preschoolers through adolescents cope with bereavement, including death in the family, school, or community.

Case material is presented in a handy two-column format that provides the reader not only with the content of the sessions, but also with the practitioner's accompanying thoughts and rationale for intervention.

Updated throughout with the latest concepts and methods, the second edition features entirely new chapters on art therapy and storytelling techniques, bereavement groups, therapist self care, and working with children who have witnessed school shootings and those grieving in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.
