About this product
Product Information
The unexpected loss of a client can be a lonely and isolating experience for therapists. While family and friends can ritually mourn the deceased, the nature of the therapeutic relationship prohibits therapists from engaging in such activities. Practitioners can only share memories of a client in circumscribed ways, while respecting the patient's confidentiality. Therefore, they may find it difficult to discuss the things that made the therapeutic relationship meaningful. Similarly, when a therapist loses someone in their private lives, they are expected to isolate themselves from grief, since allowing one's personal life to enter the working relationship can interfere with a client's self-discovery and healing. For therapists caught between their grief and the empathy they provide for their clients, this collection explores the complexity of bereavement within the practice setting. It also examines the professional and personal ramifications of death and loss for the practicing clinician. Featuring original essays from longstanding practitioners, the collection demonstrates the universal experience of bereavement while outlining a theoretical framework for the position of the bereft therapist. Essays cover the unexpected death of clients and patient suicide, personal loss in a therapist's life, the grief of clients who lose a therapist, disastrous loss within a community, and the grief resulting from professional losses and disruptions. The first of its kind, this volume gives voice to long-suppressed thoughts and emotions, enabling psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and other mental health specialists to achieve the connection and healing they bring to their own work.

Rarely does one come across a book that combines good writing, good thinking, and good feeling. Well, here is that book. Adelman and Malawista's assemblage of reports and reflections on the loss of family members, patients, therapists, and institutions enhances our capacity for empathy and attunement with individuals facing such calamities. Their book mobilizes serious contemplation about human relationships that are simultaneously transient and everlasting. A bit of sadness follows, yet such 'good' sadness leads to psychic growth, maturity, and wisdom., Rarely does one come across a book which combines good writing, good thinking, and good feeling. Well, here is that book. Anne J. Adelman and Kerry L. Malawista's assemblage of reports and reflections on loss of family members, patients, therapists, and institutions enhances our capacity for empathy and attunement with individuals facing such calamities. Their book mobilizes serious contemplation about human relationships that are simultaneously transient and everlasting. A bit of sadness follows, however, unlike depressive feelings associated with self-laceration and masochism, such 'good' sadness leads to psychic growth, maturity, and wisdom., In this remarkable volume, psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists explore their countertransference and existential reactions to their encounter with death and loss: with patients' unexpected death, with their own life threatening illnesses and personal mourning processes affecting their work, and with their philosophical posture to the challenge of death in health and illness. In the process, the authors reexamined critically the psychoanalytic literature on depression and mourning, and reveal their personal ways in dealing with experiences of death and mourning. It is a thought provoking and moving work that should help mental health professionals to deepen their clinical expertise in dealing with this essential and unavoidable aspect of human experience., These essays bring to life the archetypal image of the wounded healer as described by C. G. Jung. In the grip of rules of technique and a myth of neutrality inherited from Sigmund Freud, therapists have long felt required to keep their own emotional wounds and pain hidden from their patients. As finite human beings we are all subject to the traumas of death and loss, and I applaud this volume for bringing our existential vulnerabilities into a professional dialogue. Our patients can only benefit from this open and gripping acknowledgment of our existential kinship in the same darkness., The Therapist in Mourning is a thoughtful examination of grief in the psychotherapeutic relationship., This book makes a valuable contribution to a contemporary perspective on the analyst's experience within the therapeutic situation., For therapists whose life work is caring for others, this book is an essential read. Theoretically sophisticated, insightful, and moving, the contributors address experiences of loss in therapy that have barely garnered passing consideration. By drawing our attention to the dynamics of grief and loss in the clinical situation, the authors have also, with great poignancy, underscored the beauty and meaning of therapeutic relationships., For therapists whose life work is caring for others, this book on grief and mourning is an essential read.
