This book is important reading, as it competently deals with the treatment of a major health issue which is both prevalent and chronic, with strong co-morbidity. While the tone didn’t particularly engage me, I did finish the book with some insights and solid understanding.

Comprehensive, clear and well referenced, this guide to the theory and practice of dealing with ambiguous loss — loss without closure — provides a realistic hope, not that we will “get over it”, but that it is possible to live with the uncertainty and the unknown.

With contributions from researchers, clinicians, and theorists, this edited collection offers a neurobiological perspective on trauma treatment and healing. On a first look, this book stands out especially for its introduction to the developmental origins of factors thought to place some individuals at greater risk of long-term effects from trauma.
