Rezensionen

Praise for the second edition:

'Rebecca Abrams' book makes an admirable and long overdue contribution to the literature on bereavement and the care of the bereaved. ... The book is eminently readable, being so well illustrated by case material, including the author's own experience. Yet this is also a book of substance, resting on well-attested theory, particularly attachment theory, and rooted in common sense.' - Sue Waldron-Skinner, Crucible
