In the course of a long career Colin Murray Parkes, one of the most
important and influential psychiatrists working in the field of
bereavement and loss, has produced a body of work which can be
considered truly ground-breaking. His early studies involved
working alongside John Bowlby in the development of attachment
theory and led to his pioneering work on the Harvard Bereavement
Project in the USA and at the new St Christopher's Hospice in
Britain. Parkes focussed on two psychological processes, grief,
which is the painful search for a lost person or object of
attachment, and transition, which is the process of changing the
assumptive world in ways that ensure that nothing worthwhile need
be completely lost. Out of the struggle to resolve the conflict
between holding on and letting go of the old assumptions there
gradually emerges a new and more mature model of the world. These
ideas throw light on a wide range of life change events and have
proved useful to people faced with bereavement, physical
disabilities, dying, disasters and even terrorist attacks. In
recent years he has supported humanitarian efforts in countries
including Rwanda, India and Japan. Parkes' career has spanned
several decades and touched countless lives. In The Price of Love,
Parkes presents papers which span the full extent of his career,
covering and linking together our understanding of the five major
areas of his work: - Love and grief; - Crisis, trauma and
transition; - Death and dying; - Disasters; - War and terrorism:
breaking the cycle. The papers included here have been carefully
selected and annotated to show how Parkes' thinking has developed
during a career as researcher, practitioner and educator. In each
section of the book psychological and social causes are paired with
consequences and interventions (both preventive and therapeutic)
and explored from Western and cross-cultural perspectives, all with
Parkes' customary clarity and compassion. This unique collection of
papers will prove invaluable to psychologists, psychiatrists,
palliative care staff, counsellors and students, as well as those
studying international conflict and working with the bereaved.
