"Life presents us with all kinds of losses- the loss of loved ones, the loss of relationships, the loss of health, the loss of youth. Most of the losses we face are outside of our control. Yet there is an element of control in how we deal with these losses, in the meaning we give them, the beliefs we carry forward about ourselves and the world and the choices we make for ourselves in the wake of our loss."

This fully updated 2nd edition includes case vignettes and discussion of attachment informed interventions designed to make the book a practical reference for educators, researchers and clinicians of varying theoretical orientations.
