Machin Linda
Working with loss and grief
Sage 2009 £18.99
In the introduction, the author indicates she will use the metaphor of journey to describe and explore the experience of grief. She elaborates on the metaphor by conceptualising theory as a “compass” and a new practice model as a “map”. She is concerned with capturing aspects of the universal as well as the individual aspects of grief – and with exploring their complementary roles as one helps bereaved people with their losses.
Chapter headings include Exploring the landscape of loss, Establishing theoretical and therapeutic bearings, Mapping grief, Listening to personal grief narratives with a focus on both vulnerability and resilience. The final chapter emphasises the responsibilities of practitioners to their clients as well as an awareness of the need for professional support to enable practitioners to maintain their own resilience and resourcefulness.
