“…Many reported reconnecting with positive memories of the loved one. The finding that positive memories began to resurface is consistent with previous studies using CBT (Maccallum & Bryant, 2011) and EMDR (Sprang, 2001) for grief.…”

Background and Objective: Previous research has used quantitative methods to assess the impact of grief therapy. However, rarely have participants been asked about how they have been affected by treatment using qualitative methods. This study sought to explore participants’ experiences of two therapeutic approaches to grief: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Method: Nineteen participants were randomly allocated to receive seven weekly therapy sessions of either CBT or EMDR. Approximately two weeks after completing therapy, a semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant. Interviews were transcribed and a thematic analysis was performed. Results: Participant reports common to both therapies included developments in insight, a positive shift in emotions, increased activity, improved self-confidence and a healthier mental relationship to the deceased. Participants also responded by describing experiences that were unique to each therapy. Those who completed CBT described the acquisition of emotion regulation tools and shifting from being in an ongoing state of grief to feeling that they were at a new stage in their lives. Participants who completed EMDR reported that distressing memories were less clear and felt more distant from such memories following treatment. Conclusions: Although both therapies resulted in some similar changes for participants, there were unique experiences associated with each therapy. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for the underlying key processes of each therapy and the processes of recovery in grief.

“…La teoría revisada permitió identificar los componentes propios de la manifestación del duelo, estos componentes están relacionados con ciertos aspectos específicos como factores personales, tipo de muerte, rol del fallecido y tipo de vínculo; pero para determinar duelo patológico se establecen algunos criterios relacionados con el tiempo, la intensidad de la expresión emocional y las creencias distorsionadas, que permiten distinguir esta manifestación de otro tipo de patología (Maccallum & Bryant, 2011;Metzger & Matt 2008;Newson, et al, 2011;;Simon, et al, 2007).…”

“…Debido a la mala interpretación de los síntomas que presentan los dolientes, el diagnóstico del duelo se suele confundir con las manifestaciones de depresión y ansiedad (Maccallum & Bryant, 2011;Metzger & Matt 2008;Newson, et al, 2011;Simon, et al, 2008). Adicionalmente, el abordaje inadecuado del duelo normal conduce a un duelo patológico que se ha asociado con problemas de salud mental y física, trastornos psicosociales, riesgo de suicidio, dolor intenso y abuso de sustancias (Newson et al, 2011;Simon, et al, 2008;Zuckoff, Shear, frank & Daley, 2006;).…”

“…El duelo se caracteriza por memorias específicas relacionadas con la pérdida, pero en la depresión estos recuerdos dolorosos son sobre generalizados (Maccallum & Bryant, 2011;Metzger & Matt 2008;Newson et al, 2011;Simon, et al, 2008), aspecto que amerita su evaluación con el objetivo de garantizar un adecuado diagnóstico que permitirá un proceso de intervención pertinente.…”

“…Los ítems 13, 14 y 29 reflejan las creencias que los deudos tienen de las personas fallecidas las cuales aumentan el dolor y pueden estar ligadas al rol que cumplía el fallecido, a las condiciones del mismo después de la muerte y a los pensamientos del mismo sobre las conductas de los deudos (Newson, et al, 2011;Prigerson et al, 2008, como se citó en Maccallum & Bryant 2011;Simon, et al, 2008).…”

ResumenSe diseñó y realizó el análisis psicométrico de un instrumento para evaluar duelo patológico en adultos. El estudio es de tipo instrumental, los participantes fueron 235 hombres y mujeres mayores de 18 años. La validación de contenido se realizó con 8 jueces expertos en el tema y en psicometría, para la validez de constructo se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio. Los ítems se agruparon en cuatro (4) factores que explican el 64.64% de la varianza. En el análisis bajo la teoría de respuesta al ítem (TRI), se encontró que el INFIT de los ítems o estadígrafo de ajuste que captura respuestas no esperadas, cerca del nivel de habilidad del evaluado osciló entre 0.6 y 1.19 y el OUTFIT estadígrafo que captura anomalías lejos de las habilidades calibradas para los evaluados, osciló entre .34 y 1.20, resultados que indican que la prueba cumple con los requerimientos psicométricos exigidos para este tipo de instrumentos. El instrumento aporta a la psicología, puesto que puede ser usado como una medida válida, fiable y útil para el objetivo y contexto para el cual fue elaborado.Palabras clave: Duelo (DOO6117), test (SC32180), validez (SC58280), confiabilidad (SC52250), Psicometría (D011594) AbstractWe designed and analyzed an instrument to measure pathological grief in adults with 235 participants. Eight experts in grief and psychometry participated in the content validity phase, and an exploratory factor analysis was performed to assess construct validity. Items were grouped in four factors explaining 64.64% of the variance. The IRT analysis found an infit between 0.6 and 1.19 and the outfit between 0.34 and 1.20. The test fulfills the required psychometric indicators.

IMPORTANCE The death of a loved one is one of life’s greatest, universal stressors to which most bereaved individuals successfully adapt without clinical intervention. For a minority of bereaved individuals, grief is complicated by superimposed problems and healing does not occur. The resulting syndrome of complicated grief causes substantial distress and functional impairment even years after a loss, yet knowing when and how to intervene can be a challenge. OBJECTIVE To discuss the differential diagnosis, risk factors for and management of complicated grief based on available evidence and clinical observations. EVIDENCE REVIEW MEDLINE was searched from January 1990 to October 2012. Additional citations were procured from references of select research and review articles. Available treatment studies targeting complicated grief were included. RESULTS A strong research literature led to inclusion of complicated grief in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) (termed persistent complex bereavement disorder as a subtype of other specified trauma and stressor-related disorders), although it is a condition for which more research is formally recommended, and there is still ongoing discussion about the optimal name and diagnostic criteria for the disorder. Reliable screening instruments are available, and the estimated prevalence rate is 7% of bereaved people. Randomized controlled data support the efficacy of a targeted psychotherapy including elements that foster resolution of complicating problems and facilitate the natural healing process. Preliminary studies suggest antidepressant medications may be helpful. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE Individuals with complicated grief have greater risk of adverse health outcomes, should be diagnosed and assessed for suicide risk and comorbid conditions such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder, and should be considered for treatment.
