Description

In this needed practice and training guide for all mental health professionals, Froma Walsh presents a research-informed, resilience-oriented approach to help individuals, couples, and families who experience profound loss. Walsh guides therapists to understand and address the impact of complicated and traumatic deaths in relational systems and social contexts. She provides core principles and illustrative examples to foster healing and adaptation, help clients mobilize vital social, cultural, and spiritual resources, and find pathways forward to live and love beyond loss. Essential topics include the death of a spouse, parent, child, or sibling; ambiguous and disenfranchised losses; death by violence, suicide, or overdose; collective trauma; and reverberations of past loss in life pursuits, other relationships, and across generations.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"In her characteristic brilliant way, the author has gifted us with another excellent book on grief and loss, at a time when we need it most, when viruses and wars leave tears and sadness on their paths. Her work helps clinicians to better understand grief processes and their impact on the individual, couples, families, or larger systems. Written with professional authority and personal compassion, the theoretical concepts come to life through case examples from years of experience in helping people live lovingly beyond loss."

This book should be on the shelves of any mental health clinician and a required textbook in any graduate program as grief is a universal experience that touches us in profound ways. The author is an accomplished, nationally, and internationally recognized scholar on loss and grief and resilience in family systems and a keynote speaker at national and international professional conferences.
