Bibliotherapy: a tool to help parents mourn their infant's death.
A hospital in Indianapolis has used the gift of a book, The Bereaved Parent, as part of the follow-up program of support for families whose newborn has died. Through questionnaires sent to bereaved families, the authors gained information to help them assess the value of this "bibliotherapy" and determined that this portion of the follow-up program was worth continuing.
