The classic psychological work that has changed our understanding of children's grieving after the loss of a parent
"[Bowlby's] contributions have breathed new life into psychoanalysis." ―Sunday Times

The book combines psychoanalytic theory with empirical observations and offers profound insight into:
- The grieving process in young children
- The experience of depression after loss
- The mechanisms of adaptation and recovery
