'All nurses will be familiar with many of the case histories
with which the book is well illustrated, many which relate directly
to the environment of the practice nurse ... Although the book
focuses on the counselling needed by the patient and family at
times of death and bereavement many of the principles discussed and
the techniques which are used have an enormous value in other
circumstances such as following attempted suicide, alcohol abuse,
depression, aggression or chronic anxiety. It is in these areas
that the book may be of even greater use to the practice
nurse.'

' "Thoughtful and practical" is how the publisher describes
this book by three authors who have made a massive contribution to
the development of contemporary bereavement care. This is a fair
assessment. This book is written in a straightforward language,
with many case studies which provide practical illustrations of
approaches, but it retains a sense of the complexity of human
beings and attempts to set any presumptions offered within a
framework of recognising diversity.'
