The third edition of this unrivaled text on loss, grief, and
bereavement continues to provide a unique biopsychosocial
perspective and developmental framework for understanding grieving
patterns. Organized by a lifespan trajectory, this text describes
developmental aspects of grieving, linking these theories to
effective clinical work. Biopsychosocial developmental theories,
including neurobiological and genetic information, frame chapters
that include recent research on how people of that age respond to
varied loss situations, and intervention strategies supported by
practice experience and empirical evidence are addressed.The new
edition illuminates special considerations in risk and resilience
for each life phase, systematically addressing issues of
oppression, marginalization, and health disparities. It includes a
new chapter on grief and loss as they effect individuals over 85
and covers spiritual development for each life phase. The book
restructures the adult chapters to reflect major changes in
theories on expanded lifespans, adds to content on evolving living
arrangements for aging individuals, and expands coverage of common
losses at different points in the lifespan. This new edition
includes material on ageism and its impact on health and also
examines the challenges faced by older adults in the LGBT
community. Additionally, the third edition explicitly incorporates
the rapidly evolving science of Adverse Childhood Experiences,
addressing how ACEs intersect with grief and loss. Vignettes and
case studies are incorporated into each life-phase chapter,
illuminating the lived experience of grief. Thought-provoking
discussion questions, chapter objectives, and additional resources
for both students and instructors reinforce critical thinking and
an Instructor's Manual, Casebook (of prior chapter readings), and
PowerPoint slides are available for download. A free eBook is
included with every text purchase. New to the Third Edition: Adds
