Overview

The Center for Complicated Grief’s workshops focus on knowledge and skills needed to work with complicated grief (CG) using a time-limited, targeted psychotherapy that has been tested and proven efficacious in three large NIMH-funded randomized controlled trials.

In this 3.5 hour workshop you will learn how to use a grief monitoring diary to help clients understand and accept grief and manage emotional pain. You will learn to introduce an aspirational goals procedure and follow up with this in subsequent sessions. You will learn how to encourage a client to invite a friend or relative to a session and what you do in that session. Video examples of therapy procedures will be used.
