Psychotherapy and Bereavement

Rubin, S.S., Malkinson, R., & Witztum, E. (2012). Working with the Bereaved: Multiple Lenses on Loss and Mourning. New York: Routledge. ISBN-10: 0415881668. The authors translate their long standing expertise in the field as clinicians and theoreticians into a co-authored volume that speaks to clinicians and all those interested in understanding bereavement.

Product Description adapted from Amazon: Working With the Bereaved summarizes the major themes in bereavement research and clinical work and uses the authors’ own cutting-edge research to show mental-health practitioners how to integrate these themes into their practice. The book provides clinicians with a framework for exploring their own emotional and intellectual assumptions about loss and bereavement, and it goes on to summarize state-of-the-art thinking in the field. The book’s later sections focus specifically on the theoretical and clinical framework for the authors’ successful and empirically validated Two-Track Model of Bereavement, which promotes methods for reconnecting with life and reordering the bereaved’s continuing bond to the diseased. Liberally illustrated with case material throughout, the psychotherapy chapters present psychodynamic, cognitive, strategic, and family models of treatment work. The concluding chapters address issues of culture, bereavement emergencies, and supplemental approaches to furthering resilience and growth.
