A Child's PArent Dies

This text is a must for anyone interested in the subject of early childhood bereavement. It is oriented toward the clinician rather than the family member of a child who has experienced such a loss. Furman's work is comprehensive, her writing is clear and direct. While psychoanalytically oriented, her observations are relevant for clinicians of any ilk.
