The Handbook of Traumatic Loss adopts a broad, holistic approach
that recognizes traumatic loss much more fully as a
multidimensional human phenomenon, not simply a medical condition.
Initial chapters build a foundation for understanding traumatic
loss and explore the many ways we respond to trauma. Later chapters
counterbalance the individualistic focus of dominant approaches to
traumatic loss by highlighting a number of thought-provoking social
dimensions of traumatic loss. Each chapter emphasizes different
aspects of traumatic loss and argues for ways in which clinicians
can help deal with its many and varied impacts.

The topic of death and related issues (such as grief) often begin
with questions. When the questions come from, or are about,
children or adolescents, they bring an additional component...the
fear some adults have of giving a "wrong" answer. In this context a
wrong answer is one that can cause more harm than good for the
child or adolescent who asked the question. This book provides
information that can be used to address the death-related questions
from children and adolescents. It also looks at questions from
caring adults about the way children or adolescents view death and
the grief that follows a death or any major loss. Children,
Adolescents, and Death covers topics that start with early studies
of childhood grief and progress to expression of grief in
cyberspace. There is no one answer to most of the questions in this
book. There are contributors from a number of continents,
countries, cultures, and academic disciplines, each of whom brings
a unique view of the topic issues they discuss. There are
presentations of practical interventions that others may copy, upon
which they can build. There are a number of chapters that look at
death education in both family and school settings. This work
contains ideas and techniques that can be of value to parents,
educators, counselors, therapists, spiritual advisors, caring
adults and, of course, will be of the most benefit to those who ask
the most questions...the children and adolescents themselves.
