ADVANCED GRIEF COUNSELLING: Theory, Research, Policy, in African and Global Context.
Advanced Grief Counselling
Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice in African and Global Contexts
By Dr. Ezekiel M.P.C. Onah
Grief is universal—but the way we understand, treat, and heal from it is deeply cultural, psychological, and policy-driven.
Advanced Grief Counselling is not just another academic text; it is a practice-shaping, policy-informing, and life-restoring guide for professionals, institutions, and caregivers working at the frontlines of loss, trauma, and bereavement.
Grounded in African worldviews and enriched with global research, this book bridges the long-standing gap between theory and real-world counselling practice. It equips readers with culturally responsive frameworks for addressing traumatic grief in schools, hospitals, faith-based settings, communities, and post-crisis environments.
