Grief counseling and therapy have been revolutionized by the recognition that adaptive grieving commonly involves retaining bonds with the deceased rather than relinquishing them, but guidelines for how to integrate this shift into professional practice have been scarce. In this groundbreaking volume, leading bereavement scholars Robert Neimeyer and Edith Steffen provide a rich trove of therapeutic procedures to help grieving clients preserve valued relationships with the dead and address lingering issues with them.

With astute attention to clinical and cultural contexts, specific instructions for a great range of approaches, numerous practice vignettes, and transcripts of actual sessions, Working with Continuing Bonds in Grief Therapy is required reading for all professionals who support the bereaved in living through loss while reaffirming or realigning bonds with their loved ones.
