Synopsis
The Handbook of Traumatic Loss adopts a broad, holistic approach that recognizes traumatic loss much more fully as a multidimensional human phenomenon, not simply a medical condition. Initial chapters build a foundation for understanding traumatic loss and explore the many ways we respond to trauma. Later chapters counterbalance the individualistic focus of dominant approaches to traumatic loss by highlighting a number of thought-provoking social dimensions of traumatic loss. Each chapter emphasizes different aspects of traumatic loss and argues for ways in which clinicians can help deal with its many and varied impacts.

"The Handbook of Traumatic Loss, drawing upon work by leading clinicians and researchers, is a major contribution to the field of loss and trauma. Deepening and enriching our understanding of traumatic loss, this carefully crafted book is an essential read."

Christopher Hall, CEO, Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement

"The Handbook of Traumatic Loss is an excellent, comprehensive examination of the subject by the editors and their colleagues. The chapters in each section are rich with theoretical and clinical wisdom and insights that will be helpful to the clinician, theorist, researcher, and interested reader. Highly recommended."

Inge B. Corless, PhD, RN, FNAP, FAAN, professor in the school of nursing at the MGH Institute of Health Professions

"The Handbook of Traumatic Loss analyzes many different types of traumatic loss in a notable effort to achieve a holistic appreciation of both the individuals affected and the social contexts in which such losses occur. The result is a distinctive contribution to improving understandings of the complex challenges presented by traumatic losses and to developing better ways of responding to those affected by such encounters."

Charles A. Corr, PhD, member of the board of directors at Suncoast Hospice Institute, an affiliate of Empath Health, Clearwater, Florida
