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.

This 3.5 hour workshop will provide a summary of a conceptual framework for understanding grief and adaptation to loss and how this relates to treatment decision making. The session will focus on an approach to a 2-session pre-treatment assessment that includes a personal and loss history, building a companionship alliance, diagnosing prolonged grief disorder, and deciding on a treatment approach.
