Grief, Dying, and Death: Clinical Interventions for Caregivers

Rating:
Summary: Good resourse for counsellors, although somewhat redundant.
Review: I found Rando's book to be very valuable in understanding grief and loss and the reactions that people have to both.

I spells out normal and abnormal reactions to loss and how to assess someone who may need support.

I recomend this book, however, many of the chapters repeat themselves and the basic concepts could have been written in a book half the size.

Summary: An important boo in the field

This book is one in a series of self help journaling books designed to help people through life issues, and breaks the process into clear cut stages with information and journaling exercises throughout to help people understand, write about, and work through their issues and difficulties.The other books in the series, all by Phil Rich and other co-authors)include a book on journaling for individuals (The Healing Journey) and one on journaling for couples("The Healing Journey for Couples") and others ("The Healing Journey Through...") on divorce, menopause, job loss, retirement, and addiction.
