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.

Background:

Older adult family caregivers face significant emotional distress, including pre-loss and prolonged grief.
Effective interventions are needed to support caregivers navigating the challenges of advanced illness and bereavement.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) shows promise for addressing grief-related symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) in reducing pre-loss and prolonged grief in older adult family caregivers.
To identify predictors of treatment response to ART among this population.
To explore cognitive processes associated with grief following ART intervention.

Main Methods:

A double-blinded, randomized clinical trial involving older adult caregivers (<60 years) of terminally ill patients.
Participants are randomized to either ART (imaginal exposure, eye movements, imagery rescripting) or an attention control (social work intervention).
Grief is assessed using the Pre-Loss Grief (PG-12-R) and Prolonged Grief (PG-13-R) scales before and after the intervention.
