- Making Sense of the Complexity of Grief: Complicated Grief, Prolonged Grief Disorder, or Something Else? (Clinical Professionals)When the American Psychiatric Association codified Prolonged Grief Disorder, the response was swift. As they had been during the years of contemplating the new diagnosis, some clinicians rejoiced at the opportunity to finally “code” what they had been treating for years. Others feared the worst—a rush to pathologize normal grief and the entrance of Big Pharma to create a “grief pill.” In this fast-paced workshop, we’ll untangle the truth of how grief gets complex, and more importantly, how any professional can discern what is a helpful response versus unhealthy coping.Objectives. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to…
- Describe the three components of complex grief responses
- Effectively use the criteria for Prolonged Grief Disorder if it is necessary
- Deliver appropriate treatment and support responses to complex grief responses
