Interventions With Bereaved Children

Summary: Creative ideas to help bereaved children
Review: I am a psychologist working at Lund University Hospital i Sweden. We are a small childpsychiatric team working with somatically ill children and their families but also with children in families where one of the parents is fatally ill or dies. We also constitute part of the crises intervention program at the hospital in connection with accidents and suicide.

I was very happy to come across this boook. It is always nice to find that other professionals, working in this heavy field, are following the same guidelines as one self. What I especially find useful is the creative ideas giving new and good metaphors to work with younger children. In Sweden this is much of a new field but we experience a great need for this kind of knowledge and are giving a lot of lectures. The book offers new ways of reflecting upon the consequences of a parents or a siblings death and puts it into a reliable framwork of theory. Thanks a lot. By the way I am trying to write a popular book on the topic together with a journalist. Kati Falk,psychologist/psychotherapist
