Understanding Grief Types: Working with the Individual Nature of Bereavement

By Lisa Prosser-Dodds

Book Overview

Understanding Grief Types provides the death studies community with a solid understanding of the relationship between the popular Myers Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI) and individual styles of grieving. Developed out of extensive research into the relationship between personality and grief response, the book describes four unique types based on combinations of MBTI preferences. Death educators and researchers will appreciate the evidence-based research on which the work is based, and clinical counselors, clergy, and funeral-service professionals will find value in the specialized clinical interventions designed to appeal to the differing personality types. Readers will find that the book changes the way they work with grieving individuals by understanding how they take in information and make choices during their grief.
