When loss is phase-specific, expected, and accompanied by compensatory supplies, it can lead to ego growth. When loss is untimely, unexpected, and unaccompanied by environmental ''holding,'' it becomes traumatic and needs clinical attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited volume brings together a distinguished cadre of international contributors in order to explain the multifaceted and nuanced nature of loss from a variety of different perspectives. These clinicians, administrators, and writers delineate the great variability in the setting, antecedents, and consequences of loss. Development-facilitating and development-impeding losses are addressed and so are the losses that seem inevitable as one moves from childhood through adolescence and young adulthood to midlife and old age. Loss experienced by institutional organizations and war-torn societies is also examined.

The editor and contributors elucidate the pain of loss and subsequent mourning states in varied contexts: loss of crucial parts of oneself, loss of love relationships, loss of one’s prized possessions, loss of one’s home, and loss of one’s country. The pre-existing central ideals in this realm are further elaborated and theoretically fine-tuned. This promises the reader a deeper understanding of a crucial human experience ‒ one we encounter at every turn in our work…and in our own lives. This book is well-worth reading.\" \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenri Parens\u003c\/strong\u003e, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Thomas Jefferson University, Training and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In this wide ranging and comprehensive contribution to psychoanalysis and social science, Salman Akhtar and his contributors highlight the impact of different types of loss: normative, traumatic, actual, inevitable and invisible loss.
