This book is a research-based text and emphasizes cultural factors that often significantly affect the adolescent coping with death.

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.
