- Summary:
- "This book considers death and loss within Chinese Medicine and related Taoist models, and offers practical advice for working with frail or dying clients, alongside appropriate exercises and meditations to share with clients who may need special consideration. Grainger examines the different ways that practitioners might encounter death and loss - including working with people diagnosed with life-threatening illness, those affected by suicide or miscarriage - in the context of different ages, religious and cultural backgrounds, and offers a model for teaching. Working with Death and Loss in Shiatsu Practice is the go-to text for practitioners wishing to improve their expertise and confidence when working with people at a vulnerable time in a respectful, open-hearted and compassionate manner"--Provided by publisher.
