"Carrie Arnold's Understanding Child and Adolescent Grief offers a treasure trove for educators and clinicians. The authors skillfully weave sound and current grief theory, solid developmental perspectives, and clinical practice in a rich tapestry. Understanding Child and Adolescent Grief provides both breadth and depth as it explores a range of issues from life-limiting illness to suicide. It includes an unusual sensitivity to diversity that encompasses such areas as death among the African American community as well as suicide among Aboriginal youth in Canada and LBGT adolescents. This book should be read by clinicians, educators, and anyone who works with that so vulnerable population.
