Disenfranchised Grief

Disenfranchised Grief focuses on the kind of grief that is not openly acknowledged, socially validated, or publicly mourned such as the loss of a pet, a miscarriage, or putting a child up for abortion. The book explores the concept of disenfranchised grief, helps define and explain this type of grief, and offers clinical interventions to help grievers express their hidden sorrow.

The book has been broken down into four sections looking at:
• A Theoretical Overview
• Clinical Interventions: Tools and Techniques
• Illustrations of Practice
• Disenfranchised Grief: Education and Policy

All ages

"the book is ripe with suggestions and implications for therapists and counselors who work with clients who are in the throes of grief."
