The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life de Donald L. Rosenstein

The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life

Autor Donald L. Rosenstein, Justin M. Yopp
en Limba Engleză Hardback – feb 2018

Publicat sub egida Oxford University Press, volumul The Group se prezintă într-un format hardback riguros, de 192 de pagini, fiind organizat ca o sinteză între narațiunea clinică și cercetarea academică de ultimă oră. Structura cărții facilitează accesul la o resursă digitală complementară prin platforma programului dedicat taților singuri, oferind o perspectivă aplicată asupra sănătății publice și a suportului psihologic în oncologie. Considerăm că valoarea acestui text rezidă în capacitatea de a transforma experiența brută a celor șapte bărbați — Karl, Neill, Bruce, Joe, Dan, Steven și Russell — într-un model teoretic de adaptare la pierderea tragică.

Subliniem faptul că autorii, Donald L. Rosenstein și Justin M. Yopp, resping aplicabilitatea universală a modelului clasic al celor cinci stadii ale doliului în contextul paternității solitare. În schimb, aceștia propun o abordare ancorată în psihologia pozitivă și reziliență. Clinicienii care folosesc Grief and Bereavement in Contemporary Society de Robert A. Neimeyer ca referință vor găsi aici un studiu de caz longitudinal care completează teoriile generale cu dinamica specifică a grupului de suport și a nevoilor practice ale părinților care cresc copii în timp ce își procesează propria suferință.

Apreciem rigoarea cu care sunt integrate conceptele de „post-traumatic growth” (creștere post-traumatică), oferind o alternativă validată științific la abordările tradiționale. Ritmul textului este unul dens, alternând între mărturiile personale emoționante și analiza datelor clinice colectate de la UNC Chapel Hill, ceea ce face din această lucrare un instrument esențial pentru înțelegerea doliului patologic versus cel normal.

Este o resursă rară care demonstrează cum suferința profundă poate fi transformată în acțiune comunitară și creștere personală, oferind un cadru teoretic modern pentru gestionarea pierderii.

Descriere

Loss and grief are universal human experiences that cause profound suffering. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of current research on bereavement and ways to promote healthy coping. The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers and Adaptation to Tragic Loss tackles this problem head-on. By chronicling the challenges and triumphs of a remarkable group of men who were left to raise young children after their wives died, this book offers a novel perspective and inspiration to anyone facing life's inevitable hardships. The Group is inspired by an innovative program at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. As directors of the Single Fathers Due to Cancer Program, the authors lead support groups for recently widowed fathers facing the simultaneous challenges of mourning their wives' deaths and raising their grieving children. The experiences of the seven men from the original support group - Karl, Neill, Bruce, Joe, Dan, Steven, and Russell - provide the raw material for this book. These men met monthly for four years and forged a tight bond. They encouraged each other through painful setbacks and celebrated increasingly frequent successes as sole parents. They also ¨gave back¨ to other fathers by helping to launch a research program on widowed parenthood and end-of-life supportive care for young parents. Their individual stories and shared experiences reveal important insights about coping with any kind of loss. As the support group matured, it became apparent that traditional approaches to bereavement were not helpful for these men. For example, the still widely accepted "five stages of grief" model, introduced by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her 1969 bestseller On Death and Dying, failed to capture the unique circumstances of widowed fatherhood. The bereavement field has made major advances over the past few decades; however, these insights about both normal and pathological grief have yet to penetrate the public's consciousness. This book integrates for the lay reader poignant narratives from the fathers in the support group with the latest advances in grief resolution, resilience, positive psychology, meaning-making, and post-traumatic growth. The Group is also rich with contemporary theory and data that one would expect from an academically-oriented book on grief and adaptation. This is a story being told for the first time that has relevance to anyone who has suffered a meaningful loss. The book will be particularly interesting to those who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one as well as professionals in the fields of grief counseling, mental health, hospice, palliative care, and oncology. Drs. Rosenstein and Yopp created the Single Fathers Due to Cancer Program at UNC five years ago to address the almost completely overlooked needs of widowed fathers. Since establishing this program, it has expanded well beyond the initial support group to include educational services for oncologists and hospital staff, an online resource for widowed fathers (www.singlefathersduetocancer.org http://www.singlefathersduetocancer.org) and a research program dedicated to families affected by advanced cancer. These efforts have led to the largest data set ever collected from widowed parents. The Single Fathers Due to Cancer Program has garnered national media attention (Jane Brody, New York Times; NBC's Today Show) and published in leading peer-reviewed academic journals. Drs. Rosenstein and Yopp speak regularly at domestic and international professional conferences on end-of-life care and bereavement.

Recenzii

the book is an interwoven tapestry of theories, clinical debates, client experiences and group development, and offers an integrative presentation of effective ways for supporting grieving men. It will be of great value to mental health professionals and all those who want to learn more about supporting grieving men.
Yopp and his co-author have written an engaging and informative account of their support group with seven widowed fathers raising young children after their wives died of cancer. ... This book will be valued by any griever, but especially a grieving parent who is raising children. Clinicians will also gain insight into the ebb and flow of the clinical process while providing a supportive milieu for grieving persons.
