Reviews

"The chapters in this collection build on theories of the psychology of trauma and psychosocial chnage to discuss psychological disturbance that occurs after a traumatic loss."
"The assumptive world is our guide as we organize ourselves and our understanding of the world around us. Trauma attacks those assumptions. This book will help us bridge trauma by using the assumptive world even when it is under attack by the trauma that attacks us." -- The World Pastoral Care Center, Resources Hotline, September 2002
"A perfect text for an anxious time...an excellent addition to the literature on trauma. It will be helpful in understanding our clients as well as our responses to world events." -- Clinical Social Work Journal
"The richness of this book for the reader is in seeing the same concept from a number of points of view." -- Bereavement Care
