It is an invaluable resource to women and everyone who supports them--spouses, partners, and family members as well as community and government.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWomen's grief is often a complex phenomenon--a natural, normal experience, but one that can seriously impact everyone--female or male--at every stage of life. \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Loss and Grief for Women: A New Perspective on Their Pain and Healing\u003c\/i\u003e provides a way to look at how women experience loss through the lens of their socially constructed roles, and in light of the theories and practice of grief therapy and support. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins by explaining the social construction of women's traditional, transitional, and modern\/postmodern roles, and then addresses the social construction of grief theory and practice in past eras and modern society. Several case studies enable readers to see how social constructs shape women's responses to various causes of grief, such as the death of a spouse or partner, child, marriage (divorce), and career (retirement). The final section of the book examines the health impacts of grief, offers suggestions to ameliorate negative health impacts, and emphasizes how loss and grief for women can be used as opportunities for self-growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book serves all members of the general population as well as educators, academics, scientists, and students of disciplines such as psychology, psychotherapy, medicine, sociology, and women's studies. It will enable all women to better understand, deal with, and heal from their loss and grief experience. Male readers will empathize with what their spouses\/partners, mothers, grandmothers, siblings, and friends are experiencing in loss and grief and understand how to support healthy transition through grief to resolution. The community at large and care providers will learn how to create a more nurturing and supportive environment for women's grief response.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Buckingham, Peggy Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440857822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440857829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2018","brand":"Robert Buckingham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110690836735,"sku":"9781440857829","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_774dae85-e636-4790-b0f9-a792a29acc4a.jpg?v=1725469489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-loss-and-grief-for-robert-buckingham-9781440857829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
