Review:

"This excellent book provides a rich and solid introduction to working with groups of adolescents bereaved by a traumatic death. It achieves a good balance of theory and practice, giving clear indications of exactly what to do, and also an overview of the models of beareavement and group processes on which the instruction is based." - David Trickey, Cruse Bereavement Care Journal, Vol. 27, Iss. 2, 2008
