A Time to Mourn - Verena Kast

. .

Résumé :
In what is often called her most important book, Verena Kast examines the role of mourning in the therapeutic process. Working as a psychotherapist, Frau Kast has often observed depressive illnesses caused by painful losses which have not been adequately mourned. Traditionally, mourning has not been a subject of psychologists' attention. Frau Kast uses dreams to illustrate the stages of mourning and shows systematically how the unconscious stimulates us to encounter our grief.
