Abstract

This book derives from fifteen years of clinical study and treatment of the complications of mourning. Buttressed by examination of the literature and a wealth of rich clinical material, it develops a nosology of the complications of mourning and a varied approach to its treatment. The latter ranges from psychoanalysis proper to a form of brief psychotherapy described as "consonant with psychoanalysis, in spite of its avoidance of a ripened transference neurosis" (p. 212).
