This book by one of North America's most respected grief educators presents a model for grief counseling based on his "companioning" principles.
For many mental healthcare providers, grief in contemporary society has been medicalized—perceived as if it were an illness that with proper assessment, diagnosis and treatment could be cured.
Dr. Wolfelt explains that our modern understanding of grief all too often conveys that at ereavement's "end" the mourner has completed a series of tasks, extinguished pain, nd established new relationships. Our psychological models emphasize "recovery" or quot;resolution" in grief, suggesting a return to "normalcy."
