Grieving Beyond Gender Summary

Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Women Mourn, Revised Edition by Kenneth J. Doka (The College of New Rochelle, New York, USA)

Grieving Beyond Gender: Understanding the Ways Men and Women Mourn is a revision of Men Don't Cry, Women Do: Transcending Gender Stereotypes of Grief. In this work, Doka and Martin elaborate on their conceptual model of styles or patterns of grieving - a model that has generated both research and acceptance since the publication of the first edition in 1999. In that book, as well as in this revision, Doka and Martin explore the different ways that individuals grieve, noting that gender is only one factor that affects an individual's style or pattern of grief. The book differentiates intuitive grievers, where the pattern is more affective, from instrumental grievers, who grieve in a more cognitive and behavioral way, while noting other patterns that might be more blended or dissonant. The model is firmly grounded in social science theory and research. A particular strength of the work is the emphasis placed on the clinical implications of the model on the ways that different types of grievers might best be supported through individual counseling or group support.

Grieving Beyond Gender Reviews

This book reminds us of the unique nature of the end of life and that one size does not fit all. It reminds us also of the highly complex, individual nature of grief. - Cruse Bereavement Care

Doka and Martin's book represents a significant advance in thinking about bereavement, grief, and mourning. It offers that rare gift: a powerful conceptual framework for organizing one's whole thinking about doing bereavement research and counseling the bereaved. The ideas of intuitive and instrumental grieving offer conceptual scaffolding both researchers and practitioners can understand and use to communicate with one another. This book contains possibilities for collaboration between researchers and practitioners to bridge the gap that separates them; even more important, it offers possibilities of working together as equals on projects of interest to both. - Death Studies, [35], 2011

Grieving Beyond Gender is an important book that challenges widely accepted assumptions about grief... valuable reading not only for clinicians, grief counselors, hospice workers, and other professionals working with the bereaved, but also for graudate students in courses on death, dying, and aging. - Deborah Carr, Psychology of Women Quarterly
