Hall, Christopher

This article looks at how early stage theories of grief came to be rejected and examines more recent theories which also consider the cognitive, social, cultural and spiritual dimensions of grief and loss. It goes on to highlight emerging trends in bereavement theory, potential complications of grief, and the evidence for the efficacy of grief interventions.
