Abstract
This article examines a programme developed in Israel for mothers bereaved as a result of terrorist attacks. The women are offered a two-day, residential retreat with a varied programme of healing interventions. The approach is holistic in design, integrating a number of therapeutic approaches in a group environment, based on Lazarus's multi-modal approach to brief psychotherapy. The authors show how their programme puts into practice theoretical principles about the integrative treatment of traumatic loss.
