Worden's handbook for mental health practitioners working with bereaved clients, in its fifth edition.

The book sets out a task-based model of mourning, distinguishes uncomplicated grief from reactions that warrant clinical attention, and discusses counseling approaches for different kinds of loss, including the death of a partner, a child or a parent. There is practical material on how grief presents in therapy and on the therapist's own responses to this work.

Widely assigned in counseling, social work and psychology programs, and used as a practice reference by therapists, chaplains, hospice staff and grief support facilitators.
