Grief from the Perspective of Cognitive-Behavioral and Contextual Therapies

This book articulates well-founded theoretical contributions and clinical practice, presenting cases that illustrate how cognitive and contextual therapies can contribute and offer consistent and ethical resources to intervene and support grieving individuals at different stages of human development and in specific contexts of loss.


The book addresses:



grief in childhood and adolescence, including losses due to death, parental separation, and chronic illness;

different types of grief in adulthood, such as gestational loss, suicide, marital separation, early widowhood, and pet loss;

discussions on grief in old age, involving retirement, gender issues, cognitive impairment, and processing accumulated losses throughout life;

techniques such as cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure to painful memories, and coping skills;

the application of different therapeutic approaches, including schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as brief online therapy.






Essential for clinicians, researchers, and students in mental health fields who seek to understand and intervene in the grieving process in an ethical, reflective, and technically informed manner.
