Guidebook on Helping Persons with Mental Retardation Mourn by Jeffrey Kauffman (Hardcover, 2004)

About this product

Product Information

The grief language of persons with mental retardation discloses intellectual capacities that are no less powerful, complex, subtle, disturbing, deep, and spiritual than those revealed in the more discursive and dialectical grief language of persons without mental retardation. This book will assist readers in recognizing and understanding the behavioural language of grief among persons with mental retardation and in developing intervention plans to support them through their grief, in both the short and long term. The book contributes to an awareness of the significance of loss in the life experience of persons with mental retardation. Experiencing loss may be a very powerful vulnerability in their mental or psychological life, and dealing with this loss is a basic element in psychological health. There has been an enormous hole in the death and dying literature and in the mental retardation literature on the mourning behaviour and needs of persons with mental retardation. This book fills that hole, and lays a foundation for grief support services, establishes standards of practice and care, and is an educational primer about the loss and mourning needs of persons with mental retardation. The book is directed to grief counsellors and therapists, other mental health workers who work with persons with mental retardation, agencies that support persons with mental retardation, and advocates and family of persons with mental retardation. It includes carefully detailed guidelines for support, therapeutic intervention, family issues regarding a dying caregiver, and agency interventions and program development.
