Note to Readers: Publisher does not guarantee quality or access to any included digital components if book is purchased through a third-party seller.The third edition of this unrivaled text on loss, grief, and bereavement continues to provide a unique biopsychosocial perspective and developmental framework for understanding grieving patterns. Organized by a lifespan trajectory, this text describes developmental aspects of grieving, linking these theories to effective clinical work. Biopsychosocial developmental theories, including neurobiological and genetic information, frame chapters that include recent research on how people of that age respond to varied loss situations, and intervention strategies supported by practice experience and empirical evidence are addressed.The new edition illuminates special considerations in risk and resilience for each life phase, systematically addressing issues of oppression, marginalization, and health disparities. It includes a new chapter on grief and loss as they effect individuals over 85 and covers spiritual development for each life phase. The book restructures the adult chapters to reflect major changes in theories on expanded lifespans, adds to content on evolving living arrangements for aging individuals, and expands coverage of common losses at different points in the lifespan. This new edition includes material on ageism and its impact on health and also examines the challenges faced by older adults in the LGBT community. Additionally, the third edition explicitly incorporates the rapidly evolving science of Adverse Childhood Experiences, addressing how ACEs intersect with grief and loss. Vignettes and case studies are incorporated into each life-phase chapter, illuminating the lived experience of grief. Thought-provoking discussion questions, chapter objectives, and additional resources for both students and instructors reinforce critical thinking and an Instructor’s Manual, Casebook (of prior chapter readings), and PowerPoint slides are available for download. A free eBook is included with every text purchase.New to the Third Edition:Adds Special Considerations in Risk and Resilience to every chapterIncorporates Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and their effects at various life stagesFocus on neurobiological and genomic aspects of healthIncludes a new chapter on the Fourth Age – from 85 upDiscusses spiritual development for each life phaseIncorporates new case studiesRestructures adult chapters to reflect major new theories about expanded lifespansWelcomes a new author who adds content on the third and fourth ages of older adulthood, ageism, and the experience of aging in LGBT communitiesExpands content on areas of marginalization – race, gender, financial resources, educational disparities, and moreExpands content on evolving living arrangements for older adultsExpands information on typical losses at different life stagesDelivers expanded web materials including a casebook of prior readings from earlier editions, in addition to PowerPoint slides and class plans and activities in the Instructor ManualKey Features:Provides a complete overview of classic and current grief theoriesDelivers a standardized developmental approach to each age group for consistencyPresents practical intervention strategies for different life stagesIncludes chapter objectives, vignettes, case studies, and narratives to illustrate specific forms of lossDelivers abundant instructor resources including instructor’s guide with sample syllabus and exercises, PowerPoints, class activities, and suggested resources
