Abstract:	This acclaimed work presents a range of counseling and therapy approaches for children who have experienced loss. Practitioners and students are given practical strategies for helping preschoolers through adolescents cope with different forms of bereavement, including death in the family, school, or community. Grounded in the latest research on child therapy, bereavement, trauma, and child development, the volume clearly explains the principles that guide interventions. Featuring a wealth of new content, the third edition retains the case-based format and rich descriptions of the helping process that have made the book so popular as a practitioner guide and text. Significantly revised and updated to reflect new information and approaches; 9 new topics covered. Covers additional types of loss: war-related death in the family, deaths connected to natural disasters, and the loss of a pet. Additional therapy modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy and play therapy; conjoint caregiver.child treatment; and bereavement groups and camps. Addresses how to help parents and teachers meet bereaved children's needs. Includes 11 reproducible assessment tools and handouts that can be photocopied by book purchasers or downloaded and printed from Guilford's website.
