Counselling for survivors

What to say to someone who has just lost a loved one? How to advise a mother whose child has died? What advice do you have for people who have lost a loved one in a tragic accident? Phrases full of empty consolations can do more harm than good. But how to really help? These and other questions are dealt with in the publication Counselling for the bereaved The author not only provides readers with information on what grief actually entails and how grieving usually takes place, but also goes into depth on the role of the counsellor in this difficult life situation. Although the book is primarily aimed at psychologists or psychotherapists, it also provides important information for lay people who would like to help the bereaved.
