For years, I have strongly advised adults to read Grief in Children
because I believe it is the most sympathetically written and
accessible book on the topic. It is the thoughtful distillation of
many years' clinical experience of working with bereaved children
and their families.' - from the foreword by Professor William Yule
Praise for the first edition: 'This is a very user-friendly book.
It is presented in a way which enables the reader to browse or go
direct to a certain section, but at the same time is engaging
enough to sustain one's interest to read the whole book.' -
Australian Social Work 'Dyregrov's writing is clear in its
description, and explicit in its advice, and demonstrates that the
daunting task of helping a child through grief is both manageable
and rewarding... The book will, I'm sure, become required reading
for all those touched by the care of bereaved children.' -
Bereavement Care '... a handy, small book ideal for teachers,
social workers, counsellors, parents and others faced with the task
of understanding children in grief and trying to help them.' -
Association for Child Psychology and Psychiatry Newsletter 'There
is valuable material on grief at various ages and development...
The question "What makes the grief worse?" is neatly answered and a
brief, but useful, section alerts the helper to differences in the
grief experienced by boys and girls. The chapters on care for
bereaved children are packed with good sense and practical
suggestions. Many interesting ideas are given on ways to deal with
bereavement in the setting of the classroom. There is much to
commend this handbook. It is of manageable length, giving
information concisely and supplementing it with well-chosen
quotations. A valuable book which I would recommend to my
colleagues and to parents, to those who run playgroups and to any
who seek to help young people in bereavement.' - Lifeline (Magazine
of the National Association of Bereavement Services) This fully
updated second edition of Grief in Children provides an accessible
overview of children's understanding of death at different ages and

teacher, it is important for those caring for bereaved children to
know how to respond appropriately to the child's needs. This book

and describes the methods of approaching grief in children that
have been shown to work best. The author provides guidance on how
loss and bereavement should be handled at school, explains when it
is appropriate to involve expert professional help and discusses
the value of bereavement groups for children and support for
caregivers. Illustrated with case studies and incorporating current
research, this book is essential reading for parents, carers,
counsellors, teachers and all those concerned with the welfare of
bereaved children. Dr Atle Dyregrov is a clinical psychologist and

Praise for the author: 'Dyregrov's writing is clear in its
description, and explicit in its advice, and demonstrates that the
daunting task of helping a child through grief is both manageable
and rewarding' - Bereavement Care 'This insightful text will be of
great help to all who care for pre-school children - parents,
kindergarten teachers, ministers of religion, police, welfare
workers - the list is endless. If they learn the values reflected
in this small book, then bereaved children everywhere will grow up
with far fewer hang-ups about the only certainty in life.' - from
the foreword by Professor William Yule It is a common misconception
that pre-school children are not capable of experiencing grief in
the same way that older children do. Grief in Young Children
challenges this assumption, demonstrating that although young
children may not express grief in the same way as older children,
they still need to be supported through loss. Illustrated
throughout with case examples, the author explores young children's
reactions to death and loss, both immediately after the event and
over time. For example, young children may engage in `magic
thinking', believing that wishing that someone were dead can
actually cause death, which leads to feelings of guilt. Full of
practical advice on issues such as how to keep children in touch
with their memories, answer their questions, allay their fears and
explore their feelings through play, this accessible book enables
adults to work with children to develop an acceptance of grief and
an understanding of death and loss. This book is essential reading
for parents, carers, counsellors and teachers, and is complemented
by the companion volume Grief in Children: A Handbook for Adults,
Second Edition, which caters for school-age children, also written
by Atle Dyregrov and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
Terror acts have taken place in several countries recently, and the
media attention they generate means that children are more exposed
to hearing about terrorism than ever before. Using simple language
suited to children aged 7+, this book is designed for an adult to
read along with a child to help ease their misunderstanding and
fear. The authors, who are child psychologists, tackle a broad
range of important but difficult questions with consideration,
including: Why do some people and groups use terrorism? What are
adults doing to prevent societies being hurt by terrorism? And what
can we do when we feel worried and afraid? An honest and helpful
guide to talking about terrorism with children aged 7+, this
reassuring book helps adults address children's questions and
concerns, in a society where children are unfortunately
increasingly aware to it.
It has long been recognized that people with identifiable
congenital causes of developmental disabilities display peculiar
patterns of behavior and temperament. An explosion of new
information in the field of so-called behavioral genetics has
precipitated a need for a book describing behaviorial phenotypes.
The book consists of three parts: Part I opens with an account of
the evolution of behaviorial genetics in developmental disability.
The second part covers measurement and research methodology and
includes chapters on various types of self-injurious behavior that
occur in different phenotypes and a chapter on Fragile X--a model
for inquiry into behavioral phenotypes. The sections on genetic
analysis are particularly useful to clinicians who are unfamiliar
with contemporary genetic techniques. Part III summarizes
behavioral phenotypes of over thirty biologically distinct
conditions.
