Adaptation to Loss through Short-Term Group Psychotherapy

About this book

While the loss of a loved one through either death separation or divorce is a normal human experience it can arouse underlying conflicts that trigger pathological reactions. For clinicians working with individuals who suffer from such pathological grief this volume integrates theory practice and research to describe a time-limited interpretive group therapy approach. Demonstrated to be successful in a large-scale controlled clinical trial the approach provides an innovative alternative to such traditional forms of treatment as individual psychotherapy or group counseling.
