This book is a research-based text and emphasizes cultural factors that often significantly affect the adolescent coping with death. It provides considerable focus in each chapter on peer-reviewed research dealing with the various topics. Balk and Corr explore the numerous conceptual frameworks, models, and ideas that have appeared on the scene within the past years: dual process model for understanding loss; ideas about assumptive worlds; debates about the benefit and harm of grief counseling with the normally bereaved; efforts to bridge the gap separating researchers and practitioners; and, stimulating essays about recovery and resilience following bereavement.
