It is grounded in the belief that grief counseling is distinct from other therapeutic issues because grief is an adaptive response rather than a form of pathology. The book describes the unique aspects of grief as a normal response to loss and views the goal



of counseling bereaved individuals as one of facilitating the unfolding of the healthy and adaptive aspects of the process
