One key text and one themed journal issue:

BOOK

Stroebe M, Hansson RO, Schut H, Stroebe W (eds)

Handbook of bereavement research and practice. Advances in theory and intervention.

American Psychological Association 2008

The table of contents, which includes many renowned researchers in this area, is available from:

This is almost the equivalent of the the third edition of an edited book published by most of these authors. However, each title has had a slightly different name. The first was Handbook of bereavement (Cambridge University Press 1993), and the second was Handbook of bereavement research. Consequences, coping and care (American Psychological Association 2001)

THEMED JOURNAL ISSUE

One of our doctors spotted a themed issue on bereavement in Psychiatric Annals. It is on bereavement-related depression. (October 2008). Details are available at
