Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Feelings of loss, resulting in grief, are triggered by many situations besides the death of a loved one. Healing Pain investigates why the process of grief can be such a dramatic turning-point, and why people who undergo it are never the same as they were before. A bestseller in Scandinavia, it describes the treatment methods developed by the authors to help people find the healing power inherent in health grief and gives detailed and practical advice on how to work with normal and pathological grief in individual or group settings.

Translation of: Den nodvendige smerte.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-174) and index.

CHOICE Review

Feelings of loss associated with the death of a loved one, divorce, severe illnesses such as cancer or AIDS, physical injury, or the birth of a handicapped child, often result in a profound sense of grief. Healing Pain investigates the process of grief both theoretically and through a series of case reports, and reveals how therapists might intervene to assist the survivors of traumatic loss in completing the process of grief resolution. Grief therapy is described as involving four tasks that must be actively undertaken at various levels throughout the course of grief resolution. This moving book will be of great value not only to professionals such as therapists, physicians, nurses, and social workers, but also to those encountering grief in themselves or others; indeed, anyone who has hesitated or felt unsure in approaching a friend or colleague who has recently experienced a loss would benefit from reading this excellent book. An ideal supplement to libraries already containing John Bowlby's Attachment and Loss (v.1, CH, May'74; v.2, CH, Feb'70; v.3, 1980) or Colin M. Parkes's Bereavement (CH, Mar'73). Highly recommended. All levels of readers. R. B. Stewart Jr. Oakland University
