"David Balk, who has devoted most of his professional life to
teaching and especially with college students and their life
journeys, offers "Helping the Bereaved College Student" as a major
contribution to the field...The author meets an important need by
addressing the presence of grief among college students that is
often unnoticed and unaddressed."--Illness, Crisis and Loss
Approximately one-fourth of all college students suffer the loss
of a family member or friend during their college career, yet the
prevalence of bereavement on the college campus is largely
unrecognized-sometimes by even the bereaved students themselves.
This is the only volume to comprehensively address the ways in
which bereavement may affect the college student, and guide mental
health professionals in effectively treating this underserved
population.
Authored by an internationally known expert on bereavement, the
book culls the wisdom gained from 25 years of research. It
considers the major models of bereavement, grief, and mourning as
they apply to the particular life stage and environment of the
college student, and includes student narratives, treatment
exercises and activities, and issues regarding self-disclosure.
This volume will be a vital tool in helping college students to
grieve in a constructive manner while avoiding potential obstacles
to a successful college career. Key Features:
Provides helpful exercises and interventions to guide academic
advisors, college counselors, and campus ministries in helping
bereaved students Applies major models of bereavement, grief, and
mourning specifically to the experience of the college student
Includes vivid case studies of students in mourning Incorporates
current research about grieving patterns
