Features: This book is the author's graduation thesis submitted to the University of Zurich, titled "The Meaning of Grief in Psychotherapy." In recent decades, the taboo of discussing death has been lifted, and people can talk about death. Now is the time to lift the taboo on grieving as well, and people can and should grieve. Although Freud has already described the great efficacy of "grief work" (a term proposed by Freud), grieving remains an underemphasized topic in psychological research, yet it holds significant importance for our mental health. On this topic, the author has collected materials for over a decade, particularly regarding dreams, and based on these materials, she wrote this book to systematically explain how unconscious grief troubles us.
