Rynearson EK: Retelling Violent Death. Brunner/Routledge, New York, NY, August 2001.
In Retelling Violent Death, Edward K. Rynearson presents a strategy for restorative retelling that is based upon his 30 years of clincial practice and research with family members after a violent death. It's an important resource for family members and clinicians who seek to help them in the aftermath of this devastating and life-changing event. It provides hope that there is a way to survive and accomodate a violent death, to begin and continue the self-transformation that makes survival possible.
