Give Sorrow Words gives an overview of children 's attitudes toward
death and considers the moral and ethical issues raised by
treatments for life-threatening illnesses in children. In this new
edition, available for the first time in the United States, Dorothy
Judd draws on her increasing experiences with dying children and
their parents to refine and clarify her work as presented in the
earlier edition. This book helps readers to make sense out of the
irreconcilable tension of embracing death as a part of life and
accepting the death of a child. Through her work with Robert, a
young boy dying of acute myeloblastic leukemia, Judd helps readers
to see anew the need to reconcile the two tensions and to make the
necessary decisions for medical care.
Though there has been much written about dying and bereavement in
recent years, the particular stress of terminal illness in
childhood - as it affects both the families and the professionals -
is only beginning to be better understood. In this book Dorothy
Judd, a child psychotherapist who has worked with ill, disabled and
dying children and adolescents for many years, places her clinical
experience in the context of a full understanding of death, the
moral and ethical issues raised by some of the treatments for
life-threatening illness, and the current research into new
developments in approaches to terminal illness. At the heart of the
book is a very moving diary of Judd's work with Robert, a
seven-year-old suffering from leukaemia. Judd's account of
therapeutic work in the hospital setting, away from the privacy of
the consulting room, will be of special interest to mental health
professionals. Give Sorrow Words combines great sensitivity to the
experience of terminal illness with an astute awareness of the more
theoretical debates in this increasingly important area of
research.
