Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

192
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.

These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

163
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects.

Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

  • Grief Counseling
  • School-Based Interventions

Background:

  • Bereavement is a common experience for children and youth.
  • 7.3% of children under 18 experience parental death, with more experiencing other losses.
  • Effective interventions are needed to support grieving youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an 8-week school-based grief group program.
  • To assess the program's effectiveness in reducing grief symptoms and emotion dysregulation.

Main Methods:

  • 296 children and youth (ages 11-18) participated.
  • Intervention delivered via an 8-week school-based grief group.
  • Pre- and post-intervention assessments measured grief, dysregulation, and social support.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in grief symptomology observed.
  • Significant decrease in the frequency of emotion dysregulation.
  • Significant increase in perceived social support.
  • No significant reduction in the intensity of emotion dysregulation.

Conclusions:

  • The school-based grief group program is effective in mitigating grief symptoms and emotional dysregulation frequency.
