Use of a Psychophysiological Script-driven Imagery Experiment to Study Trauma-related Dissociation in Borderline Personality Disorder
Published on: March 8, 2018
Background:
Most individuals who experience the loss or potential loss of a person or thing to which they ascribe importance in their lives undergo the process of 'normal grief'. Simply put, the experience of grief is not limited to the loss of a person through death, but is also felt when other life changes and transitions occur.
Objective:
This article aims to address what is 'normal' grief while examining some strategies that can be useful in assisting the grieving indivudual.
Discussion:
Current research asserts that there is no actual conclusion to the grief process, but rather an integration of the grief into an individual's life. To achieve a healthy integration of loss and attain the ultimate wellbeing of the individual, the grieving person may need to be assisted and guided in a biopsychosocial framework.
