[Pathological grief in standard classification systems and its prevention implications according to the Berlin Wisdom
Abstract:
The article emphasizes the place of pathological grief in psychiatric classification systems and suggests the need to precisely conceptualize pathological grief and diagnostic criteria which differentiate pathological bereavement from Major Depression and from "normal" mourning. In addition the article presents results of the Berlin Wisdom Paradigm Research and suggests possibilities of using these results in pathological grief prevention. Finally the article describes difficulties in therapeutic work with people who suffer from such a human condition as mourning for a loved one.
