      title = {The public and private management of grief : recovering  normal /},
      abstract = {Through a critical analysis of theory, policy and  practice, The Public and Private Management of Grief looks  at how 'recovery' is the prevailing discourse that measures  and frames how people grieve, and considers what happens  when people 'fail' to recover. Pearce draws on in-depth  interviews with bereaved people and a range of bereavement  professionals, to contemplate how ‘failures’ to recover  are socially perceived and acted upon. Grounded in  Foucauldian theory, this book problematises the notion of  recovery, and instead argues for the acknowledgment of the  experience of 'non-recovery,' highlighting how recovery is  a socially and historically constructed notion linked to  the individualised vision of health and happiness promoted  by neo-liberal governmentality.},
