Abstract: This book is designed to present a state-of the-art approach to the assessment and management of bereavement-related psychopathology.

Clinical Handbook of Bereavement and Grief Reactions is a valuable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, students, counselors, psychiatric nurses, social workers, and all medical professionals working with patients struggling with bereavement and grief reactions.
