The Routledge International Handbook of Child and Adolescent Grief in Contemporary Contexts (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This volume presents the leading research in child and adolescent grief from a diverse and global perspective, focusing on the systemic, political, and cultural processes that have a direct bearing on the way youth experience loss and grief.

Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen bring together a global community of academics, practitioners, and social activists to discuss and address the complexity of lived experiences of grief for young people today. Presented in four parts, the contributors begin by providing a theoretical overview of youth, grief, and bereavement, before moving onto other important topics, such as suicide bereavement, the trauma of war, digital grief narratives, child soldiering, and more. Within each chapter, authors address contemporary theoretical frameworks, research findings, and praxis related to both death and non-death losses, such as the Black Lives Matter movement, environmental grief, and grief on the internet and social media. Including contributors from a range of countries and from various disciplines, such as educators, health care professionals, policy makers, and advocates, the themes of coping, resilience, and growth are central and interwoven in each chapter.

This handbook is essential for researchers, clinicians, scholars, educators, parents, and activists as to the most pressing societal and global issues that affect youth grief today and to provide context to their personal and professional interactions with youth.

Rezensionen

"The best global synthesis of child and adolescent grief research to date."

Evermore

"This timely edited collection from Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen has both breadth and relevance. The chapters offer needed insight into areas that have for too long sat outside the lens of research, extending knowledge and establishing a foundation for improved practice."

Dr. Sam Frankel, Associate Professor, Childhood and Youth Studies, King's University College, Canada and Founder - Learning Allowed, UK

"In this impressive volume, Traher and Breen have brought together leading thinkers from around the world to explore child and adolescent grief in a wide array of contexts. Compelling and urgent, this

edited collection shows the scale and depth of the impact of loss for this population. It will be a reference point for years to come."

Dr. Kate Woodthorpe, Director of Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath, UK

"As the strikingly diverse contributions to this timely Handbook demonstrate, children and youth stand at the crosshairs of many of this century's most endemic and intractable sources of trauma and tragedy. Across cultures, continents, and contexts of care, those who are most vulnerable bear a disproportionate share of the often unseen, disenfranchised, or silenced grief that results. Traher and Breen have assembled a formidable resource in these pages to bring such suffering among youth to light, and to point to model programs that foster their ultimate resilience."

Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, Editor of New Techniques of Grief Therapy: Bereavement and Beyond

"The International Handbook of Child and Adolescent Grief in Contemporary Contexts covers an impressive range of international issues involving child and adolescent grief which will broaden the perspective of even the most experienced clinician as a result. The editors and contributors have done a phenomenal job of weaving together research and practice, with many of the chapters including important strategies and recommendations to inform organizational development and policy making as well as direct clinical practice."

Andrea Warnick, RN, Registered Psychotherapist, Andrea Warnick Consulting

"Traher and Breen's comprehensive exploration of child and adolescent death and non-death losses is a timely and indispensable addition to the field of grief studies. With contributions from leading international scholars and clinicians, its meticulously crafted chapters, informed by rigorous research and scholarship, offer a comprehensive view of the intricate tapestry of child and adolescent grief. It is a must-read for clinicians, scholars, and policymakers who seek a deeper understanding of the complex experiences of young people dealing with loss."

Christopher Hall, CEO, Grief Australia

"In today's swiftly evolving and world, numerous children and adolescents find themselves confronting the challenges, ambiguities, and uncertainties associated with death and bereavement. Carrie Traher and Lauren J. Breen skillfully compiled a wealth of information on contemporary challenges in assisting children and adolescents who grapple with a diverse array of death-related experiences. This book stands as an invaluable resource for anyone working with children and adolescents, providing insights and guidance crucial for navigating the complex terrain of death-related issues in the lives of young individuals."

Regina Szylit RN, MsN, PhD, FANN, Professor and Dean, School of Nursing, University of São Paulo, Brazil

"Of the 29 chapters, all bring the voices of experts, either academics, practitioners, or persons with lived experience, to build a narrative of foundational concepts, practice, and experience. From individual loss to collective loss, the book explores in a way that readers can gain a solid grounding and application to the benefit of the children and young people they engage with in times of grief and loss."
