Effectiveness of Psychotherapy Based Interventions for Complicated Grief: A Systematic Review
Journal Title: Psikiyatride Guncel Yaklasimlar - Current Approaches in Psychiatry - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Grief is a normal, dynamic and multidimensional process, which relates to the individuality and uniqueness of reactions to loss. However, complicated grief is a syndrome where normal grief is unusually prolonged because of complications in the natural healing process. Approximately one third of grieving individuals develop complicated grief symptoms. The individuals suffering from complicated grief tend to report clinical complaints that refer to anxiety, depression, psychical symptoms and life-threatening behaviors. The aims of this study were: to identify which psychotherapy-based interventions were designed for the treatment of complicated grief; and to make an infer-ence about the effect of these interventions.
