Summary

1. "A Student Dies, A School Mourns is a practical book that not only examines the common reactions of students and faculty to a death in the school community, but also provides schools with a systematic guide for developing a death-related crisis response plan. Dr. Klicker has called upon his years of experience as a grief counselor and educator to provide a thorough analysis of grief reactions and the developmental and environmental factors effecting them." "A Student Dies, A School Mourns will be a vital resource for school counselors, social workers, school administrators, teachers, clergy, and anyone with an interest in death in the school community."--Jacket.
