Schupp's goal for her work is to educate on the etiology, expressions, and treatment of grief. What she delivers falls well short of that.
Less than 100 pages, "Grief" begins with an exploration of theories of the grief process in thumbnail. It then explores causes, types, and symptoms before offering some surface practice suggestions.
Schupp devotes entirely too much space to educating the reader in Traumatic Grief (which is really just what it sounds like) and while she makes some important distinctions from major depressive disorder, it's space that could be better devoted to treatment strategies.
Schupp simply tries to do far too much in too little space. Her work isn't well-edited in any sense, and there's still some useful information here.
Absolutely do not buy it and change your expectations dramatically. You'll be getting a guidebook to tour grief in short, but you won't know what to do when you find it.
