Summary: Professional treasure chest here
Comment: If you're looking for a book that brings together the best in scholarly research with a practical usefulness, look no further. Children and Grief is a veritable treasure chest. Worden and his colleagues did a masterful job of using data derived not only from parents (where many studies gather their data) but also through structured interviews with the children themselves.

Perhaps the section of the volume of most compelling use to professionals is the chapter in which Worden summarizes what he calls "mediators of the child's bereavement experience." Here, in useful fashion, the author draws out elements of the death itself, its cause, the relationship between the child, deceased parent, and surviving caregivers, and a host of other factors that influence how a bereaved child copes.

Dr. Worden wrote one of the landmark textbooks on grief counseling when he wrote Grief Counseling and Grief Therapy two decades ago. The present volume is destined to be of as much practical help as the first one was. It's another book that has remained at arm's length from my desk since it was first published three years ago.
