Continuing Bonds in Bereavement

<p>The introduction of the continuing bonds model of grief near the end of the 20th century revolutionized the way researchers and practitioners understand bereavement. <i>Continuing Bonds in Bereavement </i>is the most comprehensive state-of-the-art collection of developments in this field since the inception of the model. As a multi-perspectival nuanced and forward-looking anthology it combines innovations in clinical practice with theoretical and empirical advancements. The text traces grief in different cultural settings asking questions about the truth in our interactions with the dead and showing how new cultural developments like social media change the ways we relate to those who have died. Together the book’s four sections encourage practitioners and scholars in both bereavement studies and in other fields to broaden their understanding of the concept of continuing bonds.</p>
