Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take

Grief and Loss

Stephen J. Freeman · 2005
72/100
👍 Worth It

Freeman's case-example approach keeps a textbook topic grounded in human reality — counseling students will find the theoretical survey comprehensive and the ethical chapter on end-of-life decisions genuinely useful. Published pre-2010, some frameworks have been updated by newer research, but the clinical core holds up well for graduate coursework.
