Working with Bereaved Parents is a thoughtful guide for frontline practitioners in mental health and medicine who face the daunting task of helping parents after the death of a child.

Within a culturally inclusive and respectful framework, chapters consider several psychosocial factors that complicate parental bereavement as well as helpful factors that facilitate adaptation. The author shows how contemporary theory and findings from evidence-based research can be artfully applied to clinical practice with bereaved parents. The book also shares a range of strategies for promoting parents’ resilience and personal growth in the wake of devastating loss.
