Books by Colin Murray Parkes

The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful experiences that most of us will ever have to face in our lives. This book recognises that there is no single solution to the problems of bereavement but that an understanding of grief can help the bereaved to realise that they are not alone in their experience.

Bereavement provides guidance on preparing for the loss of a loved one, and coping once they have gone. Long recognised as the most authoritative work of its kind, this new edition is revised to take into account recent findings in the US and UK.

Enables us to bring together knowledge of childhood attachments and problems of bereavement, resulting in a way of thinking about love, bereavement and other losses. Illuminating the structure and focus of thinking about love and loss, this book sheds light on a range of psychological issues.
