Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from emotional distress. Anger...

Area of Science:

Medical Art and Design
Pathology and Medical History

Background:

The Department of Pathology at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre faced the loss of its physical memory with the demolition of marble post-mortem tables during a relocation.
The post-mortem tables represented a significant historical and physical archive of the department's work.

Purpose of the Study:

To preserve the memory associated with the post-mortem tables and the significance of the post-mortem examination.
To integrate these historical elements into the new departmental space through an artistic intervention.

Main Methods:

An artist, Piet Hein Eek, was commissioned to create a work of art incorporating the post-mortem tables.
The three tables were incorporated into a triptych, stood upright against a wall.
Screen prints of enlarged microscopic images were mounted behind double glass sheets in front of the tables.

Main Results:

A triptych artwork was created, uniting the post-mortem tables and glass slides.
The artwork serves as a memento, preserving the memory of the post-mortem and pathology.
The design re-embedded these pathological emblems into the contemporary environment of the new medical centre.

Conclusions:

The artistic integration successfully preserved the department's memory and the significance of the post-mortem.
The artwork bridges the past and present, embedding pathology's history within a modern setting.
