Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief (original) (raw)

The "Handbook of Social Justice in Loss and Grief" explores the profound impact of social factors such as culture, race, and class on individual experiences of loss and grief. It challenges traditional healthcare perspectives that prioritize clinical symptoms over the complex social contexts influencing patients and families. By incorporating critical theory and reflective practices, the book advocates for a more holistic understanding of grief that acknowledges power dynamics and the multi-dimensional nature of pain, encouraging both practitioners and individuals to engage in deeper self-reflection and critical consciousness.
