Description
This course presents models of grief and bereavement applicable to social work practice with individuals and families. Emphasis is placed on direct practice knowledge and clinical skills understood in the profession to constitute what is called “grief therapy.” The Worden model, consisting of the ‘Four Tasks of Mourning’, is the primary model used in this course to guide students in their development. In addition, diverse experiences of loss and non-death related loss are considered across the lifespan.
