BEYOND GRIEF
Studies in Crisis Intervention
by Erich Lindemann
edited by Elizabeth Lindemann

Beyond Grief presents Erich Lindemann's classic work on the psychological effects of bereavement, emphasizing the progression of his thought and its culmination in his innovative concept of crisis intervention. These studies of grief and bereavement provide a model for understanding the emotional disturbances which are the precursors of enduring mental disease. Lindemann urges mental health professionals to broaden their view of casualties beyond their relevance to psychoses, psychoneuroses and psychosomatic disorders, to include those persons who fail to function effectively as useful members of society.

In Beyond Grief you'll find:
• Lindemann's exploration of the psychological and somatic effects of bereavement.
• A broad format for crisis intervention in response to a variety of acute situations and illnesses.
• Lindemann's conceptualization of the variety of coping processes and environmental supports in people's lives.
• The community context in which human function and mental health intervention take place.
• The role of the mental health professional in preventing disability.
• A study of broad questions related to social change and the part that mental health work plays in it.
