  • Developmental Psychology
  • Grief Studies

Background:

  • Adolescent bereavement, often underestimated, necessitates better theoretical frameworks.
  • Existing models inadequately connect adolescent development with coping mechanisms during grief.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present models for understanding adolescent bereavement.
  • To explore frameworks for defining and assessing recovery from grief in adolescents.
  • To enhance scholarly and practical approaches to supporting bereaved adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of adolescent bereavement research.
  • Analysis of three distinct theoretical models of grief and coping.
  • Examination of empirical data from studies on bereaved adolescents.

Main Results:

  • Three models were identified: grief linked to developmental tasks, adaptive tasks/coping skills, and sentiments for human wholeness.
  • These models offer enhanced understanding of adolescent coping with bereavement.
  • Empirical findings support the utility of these models in studying bereaved youth.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent bereavement is a significant issue requiring specialized theoretical models.
  • The reviewed models provide valuable tools for researchers and clinicians.
  • Further research should utilize these models to improve interventions for bereaved adolescents.
