Rezensionen

"Connecting to the presence within absence of the deceased can be the saving grace for the bereaved, and yet a comprehensive text on this critical topic has been lacking. Brimming with theoretical and clinical wisdom, this book offers a unique and powerful combination of sociocultural, religious, and intrapsychic perspectives to broaden our understanding of the value of connecting to the presence of the deceased and how it may be therapeutically cultivated to console grievers." - Wendy Lichtenthal, PhD, assistant attending psychologist and director of the Bereavement Clinic at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center

"This book is destined to become a landmark contribution to the

field of thanatology. Human beings have always found ways to stay connected to their deceased loved ones-what Burke and Rynearson term 'presence within absence,' and what others have called maintaining continuing bonds and after-death communications. The Restorative Nature of Ongoing Connections with the Deceased: Exploring Presence within Absence offers us a contemporary view of this enduring human phenomenon. It covers perspectives from all the major world religions, and it provides in-depth discussions of the clinical and research implications of the presence-within-absence phenomenon. I believe that this volume is on the cutting-edge of an important future direction in thanatology. As such, it ought to be read by anyone interested in role of the presence-within-absence experience in the healing process of grief recovery." - John R. Jordan, PhD, clinical psychologist in private practice in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and coauthor of Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy: The Clinician's Guide to Foundations and Applications
