Bucholz (Youngstown State U.), herself a homicide survivor, offers an interpretation of personal accounts of homicide survivors as a means of understanding the particular nature of homicide bereavement. The study is based on interviews with 13 homicide survivors, four men and nine women who have experienced the murder of a family member, and examines the homicide griever's experience within both a personal and social context. The text is intended for homicide survivors, and those who are trying to help them, including grief counselors, social workers, psychotherapists and others interested in bereavement and traumatic bereavement, funeral directors, clergy, school counselors, educators, law enforcement officials, and civil servants.
