Description:The families of death row inmates are rarely considered in public discourse regarding the death penalty. They have largely been forgotten, and their pain has not been acknowledged by the rest of society. These families experience a unique grief process as they are confronted with the loss of their loved one to death row and brace themselves for the possibility of an execution on the horizon. They are disenfranchised from their grief by the surrounding community; therefore, they tend to suffer in silence. The mental health needs of death row family members are significant as they struggle in isolation with the ambiguous loss that comes with the fear that the state will kill their loved one. Grief, Loss, and Treatment for Death Row Families describes the grief that the families experience from the time of their loved one s arrest through to his or her execution. In each chapter, Sandra Joy moves the reader through the grief process experienced by the families, offering clinical interventions that can be used by mental health professionals who are given the opportunity to work with these families at various stages of their grief. Throughout the book there are quotes from family members who either currently have a loved one on death row or have survived the execution of their loved one, culled from over seventy qualitative interviews conducted by the author. These families are selected from the state of Delaware, which has a relatively small death row, yet it is ranked third in the nation with its rate of per capita executions that are carried out. This book provides an in-depth awareness of the grieving process of death row families, as well as ways that professionals can intervene to assist them through the healing process. With increased awareness and effective clinical treatment, we can ensure that the families of death row inmates are forgotten no more.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
