Grief and Disappearance: Psychosocial Interventions is one of the few studies about the impact of disappearances and the psychosocial and therapeutic interventions required for grieving relatives. This book examines the theoretical background of grief and gives an insight into the nature and complexity of grief and mourning. Further, it describes various conflicts that arise out of the loss of a loved one in the context of a disappearance. It also discusses forms of coping strategies that relatives adopt, depending on their individual identities and cultural backgrounds. The book uses case studies to analyse collective forms of trauma, dealing with disappearances and finding closure. The impact of death certificates, truth commissions, exhumations, memorial places and forms of art and symbolic rituals are points of analysis. The conclusions are based on the author’s own experiences as a psychotherapeutic practitioner and the methods used to counsel people who have suffered losses in the wake of political and natural exigencies. Case studies and narratives illustrate the psychodynamic processes, allowing social workers, psychologists and doctors to understand how to handle such cases and intervene effectively to initiate the healing process.
