Although a certain amount of grief is expected and normal following the loss of a loved one, many people experience particularly intense or long-lasting grief, or complicated grief. Up to 20% of acutely bereaved individuals and 33% of psychiatric outpatients suffer from complicated grief. Furthermore, as the baby boom generation ages, the number of people experiencing complicated grief will likely increase. One of the most cost-effective, research-supported treatments for complicated grief is short-term group therapy. This approach not only treats more patients with fewer resources but also capitalizes on the unique and powerful therapeutic factors associated with group therapy. Over the past 22 years, Piper and colleagues have developed and tested two models for treating complicated grief with short-term group therapy. Extensive randomized, controlled clinical trials have demonstrated significantly higher effect sizes for the model treatments than other complicated grief treatments, including individual therapy approaches.- This book begins with a meticulous review of research related to complicated grief, including prevalence, risk factors, effects of patient characteristics and group composition on therapeutic outcome, and mechanisms of change in group therapies for complicated grief. The authors share invaluable practical guidance on assessing patients, forming groups, preparing group members for treatment, and running and terminating the group. This book is essential reading for all clinicians and researchers interested in complicated grief, group therapy, and short-term therapy as well as for administrators and managers responsible for the delivery of health care services. --Book Jacket.
