Prolonged grief in children and adolescents: Assessment, correlates, and treatment

Many children like Bas and Eva experience stressful events as they grow up. They are faced with painful circumstances like parental divorce or the death of a loved one. Most children can overcome those experiences, but some develop such psychological problems that professional help is needed. The overall focus of this dissertation is the assessment and treatment of problematic grief in children like Bas and Eva. First, we give an overview of epidemiological aspects and a historical overview of research on problematic grief. Then we describe our aims and outline for this dissertation in more detail. Our three aims were (I) to increase our understanding of the phenomenology and correlates of Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), (II) to enhance knowledge on the role of negative thinking in the development of PGD in children and (III) to develop an intervention for children who suffer from loss and to examine its potential efficacy in two pilot studies.
