Can something as negative as loss also be a positive,
transformative experience?
Is it possible that not only individuals but also societies can
be developmentally arrested by problematic mourning?
On Deaths and Endings brings together the work of psychoanalytic
scholars and practitioners grappling with the manifold issues
evoked by loss and finality.
The book covers the impact of endings throughout the life cycle,
including effects on children, adolescents, adults, those near
death and entire societies. New psychoanalytic perspectives on
bereavement are offered based on clinical work, scholarly research
and the authors' own, deeply personal experiences. The contributors
present compelling, often moving, enquiries into subjects such as
the reconfiguration of self-states subsequent to mourning, the role
of ritual and memorials, the tragic impact of unmourned loss,
modern conceptualisations of the death instinct, and terror-based
losses.
Inthat much psychotherapy is conducted with people who have
suffered some form of loss, this book will be an invaluable
resource for all mental health professionals. The emphasis on the
potential of working through the vicissitudes of these experiences
will provide inspiration and hope both to those who have endured
personal loss and to anyone working with grieving patients.
