Synopsis
Fourteen essays, presented by Thompson (U. of Liverpool), reflect a variety of theoretical approaches to loss theory as they explore loss and grief associated with death and other life experiences. Early contributions explore loss in psychological, spiritual, and socio- historical contexts, specifically looking at the impacts of such factors as race, gender, and poverty. The next group of chapters discusses loss in areas other than death, including divorce, adoption, foster care, disability, ill health, and imprisonment. The final couple of chapters explore interventions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
