Summary:
"Grief and Prolonged Grief Disorder serves as a handbook for prolonged grief disorder (PGD), which was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th Edition, Text Revision) in 2022. The book discusses typical grief-the process of adaptation to and acceptance of the finality of death-and helps clinicians recognize when that process has been derailed. In PGD, grief becomes prolonged, and without focused intervention, it may last for months, years, or even decades. It can be successfully treated with a relatively brief but specific psychotherapy (PGD therapy). The handbook covers epidemiology, bereavement, theories of grief, circumstances of loss, life cycle considerations, and cultural issues, but the central focus is evidence-based strategies for the clinical management of typical grief and PGD"-- Provided by publisher.
