I'm editing this article as part of my History & Systems of Psychology course at Shenandoah University, in conjunction with the APS Wikipedia Initiative. Tfinnn (talk) 14:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
I would like to add what traumatic grief is, the requirements for diagnosis, and some treatments for it. Tfinnn (talk) 03:24, 3 March 2015 (UTC) Here is a reference I will be using:
Colin M, Parkes (1 August 2000). "Traumatic Grief: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention". The British Journal of Psychiatry. 177 (2): 192. doi:10.1192/bjp.177.2.192.
Some of the criteria needed to be considered "traumatic grief" include: the person must have gone through a significant period of grief and mourning after a death, experienced disruptive thoughts and anxiety about the dead person, have experienced symptoms for at least 2 months (not necessarily from the time of death), there is proof of weakened or damaged functioning, and having at least 4 symptoms out of 11 that include feelings of usefulness, deprivation of feelings, avoidance, or having symptoms like those of the person who died. [Parkes 1] It has been shown that trauma can actually restrain normal grieving and can affect your thinking and thought processes. [1] Studies have shown that newer antidepressants can be effective and beneficial. [2] Crisis intervention, therapy that allows you to understand feelings and close relationships, and different behavior therapies have also been shown to work. [3] Ways to remember and commemorate the departed are taught and encouraged along with remembering happy memories of the deceased. [4] After therapy, the individual is pushed and inspired to move past their loss and move towards new understanding and relationships. [5]
