Losing a Parent to Death in the Early Years

Losing a Parent to Death in the Early Years offers clinicians, counselors, educators, child-care professionals, and others a compassionate yet practical guide to the assessment and treatment of young children who have experienced the death of a parent or primary caregiver.

The authors describe how babies, toddlers, and preschool-age children typically respond to overwhelming loss and grief, explain complications in the grieving process that are associated with the sudden or violent death of a parent, and offer vignettes that illustrate therapeutic interventions with traumatically bereaved young children and their families.
