Death, Bereavement, and Mourning

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The contributions to this volume are based on a conference held in on the first anniversary of September 11, 2001. This sensitive and heartfelt volume relates specifically to issues of death, bereavement, and mourning in the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Center, but the applications to other individual and catastrophic events is obvious. The contributers do not simply explore how people deal with bereavement or are psychologically affected by extreme grief: they address how people can try to find meaning in tragedy and loss, and strive to help restore order in the wake of chaos.
