I need help classifying a video titled "A Child's View of Grief." This video is a practical guide for adults who wish to assist bereaved children.

Your term 'practical guide' can be interpreted as another name for "applied psychology," and is governed by the note under 158: "Class application of a specific branch of psychology . . . with the branch." Bereavement of children fits under "death and dying" at 155.937, where there is a note, "Class here reactions to the death of others." The table of preference at 155 places 155.93 (Influence of specific conditions) at the top, above psychology of specific age groups in 155.4-155.6. Therefore, we bring out the grief of children by adding the standard subdivision for children to build the number 155.937083 for reaction of children to the death of others.

If you have access to WebDewey, you will find that the index is enhanced by Library of Congress subject headings (LCSHs) linked to built Dewey numbers. The headings Bereavement in children, Children and death, and Grief in children have been statistically mapped to the record for 155.937083. In addition, our recent print publication People, Places & Things lists Bereavement in children with 155.937083 as the suggested Dewey number.
