“…In a smaller study conducted at multiple sites, Boelen et al (63) reported similar findings, comparing Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT) with supportive counseling for CG and found a significant reduction in CG symptoms and general psychopathology in the CBT group compared to supportive counseling. A number of small studies using a similar intervention have now been published, including Acierno et al (64), Asukai et al (65), Rosner et al (66), Papa et al (67) and Supiano and Luptak (68). Wagner et al (69) tested the effectiveness of an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for CG.…”

Bereavement is a common experience in adults age 60 and older. Loss of a loved one usually leads to acute grief characterized by yearning and longing, decreased interest in ongoing activities, and frequent thoughts of the deceased. For most, acute grief naturally evolves into a state of integrated grief, where the bereaved is able to reengage with everyday activities and find interest or pleasure. About 7% of bereaved older adults, however, will develop the mental health condition of Complicated Grief (CG). In CG, the movement from acute to integrated grief is derailed, and grief symptoms remain severe and impairing. This article reviews recent publications on the diagnosis of CG, risk factors for the condition, and evidenced-based treatments for CG. Greater attention to complicated grief detection and treatment in older adults is needed.

“…Different studies report effects of interventions for homicidally bereaved individuals with elevated symptoms of psychopathology, such as holistic retreat sessions (Tuck, Baliko, Schubert, & Anderson, ), grief treatment programs (Asukai, Tsuruta, & Saito, ), and restorative retelling (Saindon et al, ). Rynearson () provided group psychotherapy, which focused on dysfunctional affects following homicidal loss and (re)building resilient coping responses.…”

Homicidally bereaved individuals may experience symptoms of Complicated Grief (CG) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This Randomized Controlled Trial examined the effectiveness of an 8-session treatment encompassing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce self-rated CG and PTSD symptoms in 85 Dutch adult homicidally bereaved men and women. We compared changes in symptoms of CG (assessed using the Inventory of Complicated Grief) and PTSD (assessed using the Impact of Event Scale) between an intervention group and a waitlist control group. The treatment was effective in reducing CG and PTSD symptoms, from pretreatment to posttreatment. It can be concluded that EMDR and CBT seem promising treatments for homicidally bereaved individuals for both men and women, and regardless of the time since the loss. Further research is needed to examine whether a combined treatment of EMDR and CBT together is of added value in situations where grief and trauma are intertwined over offering only one of the two treatment modalities.

“…Post-traumatic grief may be an important psychodynamic contributor to PTSD symptoms [5], which is quite evident in the tiger-widow case (Case 5) here. The trauma scenario she described is horrific, devastating and had a significant impact on her grief and bereavement process.…”

. Eco-Stress traumas resulting from natural disasters like cyclone, earthquake, flood, hurricane, tsunami, bushfire, tornado, drought and wild animal attacks.. Technological traumas like plane crash, industrial accidents, domestic accidents, nuclear reactor explosion and oil spills etc.. Human induced direct trauma like sexual assault and rape, violence, terrorist attack, vehicle accident, combat and military trauma, illness, death and hostage taking etc.The nature and extent of ecological traumas [ ] are usually more pervasive and collective [ ] and entail a strong sense of powerlessness and destiny/spiritual dimension among the victims [ ]. PTSD is quite common after eco-disasters and it is estimated that the prevalence rate of PTSD related to natural disasters is currently between . % and . % depending on assessment methodologies, instruments and timing [ ].The present work based on the case studies from Sundarban, India, attempting to highlight the development of post-traumatic symptomatology after wild animal attacks, viz., Tiger, Shark and Crocodile, in the context of a unique ecological landscape of the delta region. "ll natural disasters and incidents are ecological events and their impact on humans in terms of psychological, physical, economic and social can be seen as an extraordinary eco-stress that is operative behind the development of post-traumatic stress disorder and hence the defining terms PTESD to separate it from Technological and Human related traumas . . The Study Area: SundarbanSundarban is the largest estuarine mangrove forest in the world stretching over an area of about , Km % is in India and % in "angladesh . It comprises outer deltas of the Ganges, "rahmaputra and Meghna rivers at the confluence of "ay of "engal. The Indian portion is located about km southeast of Kolkata West "engal State , between ° to ° N and ° to ° E coordinates, at an altitude of m from the sea level.
