This acclaimed work presents a range of counseling and therapy approaches for children who have experienced loss. Practitioners and students are given practical strategies for helping preschoolers through adolescents cope with different forms of bereavement, including death in the family, school, or community. Grounded in the latest research on child therapy, bereavement, trauma, and child development, the volume clearly explains the principles that guide interventions. Featuring a wealth of new content, the third edition retains the case-based format and rich descriptions of the helping process that have made the book so popular as a practitioner guide and text. This edition is significantly revised and updated to reflect new information and approaches. 9 new topics covered. It covers additional types of loss: war-related death in the family, deaths connected to natural disasters, and the loss of a pet. It includes additional therapy modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy and play therapy, conjoint caregiver - child treatment, and bereavement groups and camps. It addresses how to help parents and teachers meet bereaved children's needs. This book will be of use to practitioners and students in social work, child and adolescent clinical psychology and psychiatry, school psychology, and counseling. It also serves as a text in such courses as social work with children, counseling/therapy of children and adolescents, guidance in elementary/secondary schools, and school violence. "This is an essential update and revision for our changing world. Grounded in developmental theory, the book provides detailed and phase-specific guidelines for assessing and helping bereaved children in a variety of contexts. Perhaps the most compelling characteristic of the book is the use of thorough case presentations that illustrate interventions such as sand play, art therapy, storytelling, role play, and puppetry, in individual, family, and group modalities." - M. Carlean Gilbert, School of Social Work, Loyola University Chicago, USA "Renowned scholar and author Nancy Boyd Webb's revised Handbook is strategically comprehensive in scope and abundant in practice tools. Chapters provide resources for culturally competent, developmentally appropriate child- and family-focused practice." - Rowena Fong, Ruby Lee Piester Centennial Professor in Services to Children and Families, University of Texas at Austin, USA "This remarkable book balances theory and practice for any reader who has accepted the challenge of entering the lives of troubled families. It is a wise and reliable guide that covers not only loss in the family, but other types of bereavement as well. Indispensable for therapists and human service providers." - Robert Kastenbaum, Professor Emeritus of Gerontology and Communication, Arizona State University, USA "With strong attention to child development, the quality of the child's relationship to the deceased, and both the supports and challenges posed by family and community, this book is a valuable resource for students, instructors, and experienced clinicians. The contributors address a wide range of circumstances and types of loss that are prevalent in today's diverse practice world. Methods of assessment and intervention are woven throughout. Resources of many kinds are offered, along with guidelines for clinician self-care to limit the secondary impact of doing this difficult work." - James W. Drisko, Professor and Co-Director of the Doctoral Program, Smith College School for Social Work, USA "A necessary book for child and adolescent practitioners. Webb has brought together experts who cover a range of classic and cutting-edge topics and who consistently communicate an understanding of the holistic nature of grief. The book is packed with practical resources, including clinical material, sample forms, and tables. This text will be an excellent fit for my graduate-level course on children and death.
