'All nurses will be familiar with many of the case histories with
which the book is well illustrated, many which relate directly to
the environment of the practice nurse ... Although the book focuses
on the counselling needed by the patient and family at times of
death and bereavement many of the principles discussed and the
techniques which are used have an enormous value in other
circumstances such as following attempted suicide, alcohol abuse,
depression, aggression or chronic anxiety. It is in these areas
that the book may be of even greater use to the practice
nurse.'
Practice Nurse.
' "Thoughtful and practical" is how the publisher describes this
book by three authors who have made a massive contribution to the
development of contemporary bereavement care. This is a fair
assessment. This book is written in a straightforward language,
with many case studies which provide practical illustrations of
approaches, but it retains a sense of the complexity of human
beings and attempts to set any presumptions offered within a
framework of recognising diversity.'
