Description

Death of a Parent: Transition to a New Adult Identity by Dr. Umberson explores the profound transformation adults face following the loss of a parent. This work from Cambridge University Press uses in-depth interviews and national surveys to explain why parental death triggers an unexpected crisis and affects adult identity. As the first book to use a sound scientific method to document the adverse effects of parental death in a national population, it examines both social and psychological risk factors. The text also looks at protective factors that can help some individuals maintain or even improve their mental health following the death compared to when the parent was alive. This is an essential resource for understanding the complex transitions in adult life caused by bereavement.
