About Dr. Boss:

Pauline Boss, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota; Fellow in the American Psychological Association, American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy; former president, National Council on Family Relations; and therapist in private practice.

Widely recognized for groundbreaking research on ambiguous loss, Dr. Boss is known as a pioneer in the interdisciplinary study of stress of loss and unresolved grief.  Since 1973, she has researched the family stress of trauma and unclear loss, summarizing her work in a widely acclaimed book, Ambiguous Loss:  Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief (Harvard University Press, 1999).  Dr. Boss’s most recent book, Loss, Trauma, and Resilience (Norton, 2006), presents therapeutic treatment guidelines and is based on her work with families of the physically missing during war, after 9/11, and in Kosovo with the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well as her clinical work with families of loved ones missing psychologically—from the dementia of Alzheimer’s and other diseases and conditions such as traumatic brain injury.  She is currently writing a popular book for family members themselves about finding meaning and hope in the ambiguous loss of dementia.
