Clinical Handbook of Bereavement and Grief Reactions - Grand Format

This book is designed to present a state-of the-art approach to the assessment and management of bereavement-related psychopathology. Written by experts in the field, it addresses the recent shift in the field calling for greater recognition of bereavement-related psychopathology, as evidenced by the removal of bereavement from the exclusion criteria for major depressive disorder and the provisional inclusion of a bereavement disorder as a condition requiring further study in the DSM-5.
This text introduces and reviews the theoretical background underlying bereavement-related psychopathology, addresses the issues faced by clinicians who assess bereaved individuals in different contexts, and reviews the management of and varied treatment approaches for individuals with grief reactions.
