Loving and grieving are two sides of the same coin: we cannot
have one without risking the other. Only by understanding the
nature and pattern of loving can we begin to understand the
problems of grieving. Conversely, the loss of a loved person can
teach us much about the nature of love.
Love and Loss, the result of a lifetime's work, has important
implications for the study of attachment and bereavement. In this
volume, Colin Murray Parkes reports his innovative research that
enables us to bring together knowledge of childhood attachments and
problems of bereavement, resulting in a new way of thinking about
love, bereavement and other losses. Areas covered include:
- patterns of attachment and grief
- loss of a parent, child or spouse in adult life
- social isolation and support.
The book concludes by looking at disorders of attachment and
considering bereavement in terms of its implications on love, loss,
and change in a wider context.
Illuminating the structure and focus of thinking about love and
loss, this book sheds light on a wide range of psychological
issues. It will be essential reading for professionals working with
bereavement, as well as graduate students of psychology,
psychiatry, and sociology.
