Children and Loss by Renee Bradford Garcia

Children and Loss by Renee Bradford Garcia

Few books written for practitioners provide any practical information regarding grief and loss issues with children and adolescents. In a clear and concise manner, Children and Loss: A Practical Handbook for Professionals details the strengths perspective of grief and loss developed by the editors. It discusses grief and loss in relation to individual children while also addressing issues and strategies for families and professional teams. The handbook specifically focuses on the dynamics of grief and assessment issues and provides in-depth case examples. This realistic and usable application of essential techniques and resources will immediately enhance practitioners' skills with children and adolescents in specific settings where children are most likely to present with grief and loss issues. This book is a great resource for all practitioners who work with children, from foster care professionals and therapists specializing in divorce to counselors in schools and churches. This book can also be used to academic settings for any course related to child development, child psychology, children and families, grief and loss, end of life, and death.

I teach about children and loss, but do not have a single book that addresses grief and loss issues from an evidence-based perspectiveI read this book with great enthusiasm. The authors express great empathy in discussing the issues of loss and grief with children. I congratulate them on tackling this difficult area of our practice." - Susan Cole, University of Illinois
This book has much to offer conceptually and will be an excellent resource to both students and professionals. I'm impressed by the authors' collective wisdom and breadth of experience." - Shelley Cohen Conrad, University of New England
