Working with Loss, Death and Bereavement helps trainee and practitioners navigate these difficult situations by developing the skills and values necessary for effective and empowering practice.

The book explores: • definitions and assessment of loss • psychological aspects of loss and grief • skills, methods and theories working with the individual • families, support groups and communities • avenues of support for social workers • key themes of anti-discriminatory practice, evidence based practice and ethical awareness. This invaluable skills-based book meets the training requirements for social workers and will be essential reading for students or practitioners wishing to reflect on and develop their own practice in working with loss, death and bereavement.
