Synopsis

First published in 1995. Death and dying have been a concern of mankind as long as humans have existed. This book will explore the development and specifications of traditional models of grief to underline the importance of what is known about the process of grief, considering variables such as relationship, age, and personal characteristics of the mourner, as well as providing a framework of symptomatology specific to non-traumatizing, non-stigmatizing deaths for the purposes of comparative and theoretical specification. It is proposed that what is known about the grief response following the death of a spouse, a child, or an aged parent has valuable implications for grief model development considering other modes of death such as murder, drunk driving, AIDS, critical incidents, and suicide, though these conceptualizations are insufficient in explaining or predicting outcomes with these other types of grief.

From the Back Cover

The Many Faces of Bereavement explores the development and specifications of traditional models of grieving, with particular emphasis on the relationship, age, and personal characteristics of the mourner. In addition, the volume provides a framework of symptomatology for nontraumatic, nonstigmatic deaths for the purpose of comparative study. The book opens with a comprehensive overview of the traditional models of grief, with special attention given to the treatment of parental grief and the grief response of the elderly following the death of a spouse. Other chapters cover suggested typologies for traumatized and stigmatized processes of grief that are specific to the mode of death, including murder, drunk driving fatalities, community disasters, suicide, and AIDS-related deaths. Finally, the authors draw on their own personal experiences to present a summation of treatment strategies and considerations for working with bereaved patients.
