Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book approaches working short term with bereaved children and families from a variety of perspectives and in a variety of settings. The first part of the book focuses on the historical and theoretical background and current context, and the second on the different methods of intervention. The third section considers the relevance of extended warranties for short term interventions, i.e., the value and importance of being able to revisit a service when needed.
MoreLong description:
Recent years have seen increasing interest in the needs of children facing bereavement, and a corresponding increase in services to support them. This book addresses and explains the theoretical concepts and practical implications behind the idea of brief work with bereaved children and families. Flexible and accessible short term services delivered at the right time underpin the strengths of bereaved children, supporting their recovery rather than pathologising the grief process.
In this way the book also speaks to the current interest in the concept of resilience and working with families' strength and possibilities rather than merely identifying their problems.
The topic of this book is unique in the field, and will appeal to practitioners, educators and service providers managing scarce resources. The editors have more than twenty years experience as practitioners within the field, as service providers and educators. The book features chapters from distinguished contributors with backgrounds in health care, education, social work and the police, alongside theoretical and practice based chapters from workers in the field of bereavement care for
children. There is also a chapter from the service user's perspective. The book looks at different approaches to intervention, such as the importance of assessment and the value of groupwork, and also covers work with children and families before a death.
What makes this a must-read is the consistent theme that bereavement is not a disease. Across the chapters, the non-pathologising, collaborative and purposeful stance informs an approach that can find rich application across the tiers of children's services.
