′I thoroughly recommend this book for practitioners. Linda Machin
is a clear, well structured and well argued writer. The book is
laid out in a very accessible way with bullet points, tables and
diagrams. The aim of the book is to present the foundations for her
theoretical approach to working with loss and grief, based on her
practice and research. She intergrates a range of theoretical
perspectives (psychodynamic approaches, attachment theory,
narrative theory, Dual Process Model of grief, among others) useful
to the development of this kind of work and her model to take this
further′
