Journals in the field of death studies and bereavement. Where does Bereavement Care fit in?
Abstract
AbstractAs this issue celebrates 60 years since the founding of Cruse, it is timely to review Bereavement Care, an important element in the development of the organisation, in the context of other journals with similar aims. The background to the publication of Bereavement Care will be presented together with journals that contain a similar subject coverage. The way the journals are organised will be briefly explored as well as some of their most cited and the most-read papers. Commentary on the latest issue of these journals will be provided along with reflection on other sources of bereavement literature. Some suggestions for future topics are also included.
