Abstract

After nearly a century of tacit consensus about the nature of 'grief work' and its therapeutic facilitation, a great deal of research is now challenging traditional conclusions, and supporting a range of new models and methods. This brief article reviews these conceptual developments and the emerging therapies they suggest, and argues that their inclusion in professional training can support professionals who work with families at the end-of-life and beyond. © W.
