Attachment-Informed Grief Therapy

Phyllis Kosminsky and John Jordan brought significant combined experience to the first edition of this clinical guide; the 2023 Routledge second edition updates it with new research on emotion regulation, relational trauma, and epistemic trust. The integrative framework — threading attachment theory, thanatology, and interpersonal neuroscience together — gives clinicians a genuine scaffold for understanding what is happening when bereaved clients struggle to recover. It is positioned squarely for mental health professionals and grief counselors, not general readers. The subject matter is heavy by nature, but the book handles it in the measured, evidence-grounded way that Routledge's bereavement series is known for. For clinicians working with complicated grief, this second edition is a meaningful update worth having.
