The Psychology of separation and loss

the long version

This book examines how experiences of separation and loss influence human development over the life span. It presents the insights and research of leading clinicians and scholars on how a range of events- divorce, daily parental absences, moves to new neighborhoods and schools, and other separation experiences- can shape an individual's reactions later in life to such occurrences as leaving a job, terminating psychotherapy, or coping with death. -- Publisher description.
