Prolonged Grief Disorder

This presentation will discuss Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and how it is different from usual grief as well as Major Depression and PTSD. Derailers of the usual continuing grief process and risk factors associated with PGD, particularly those inherent in the COVID-19 pandemic, will also be discussed. We will describe the treatment model for Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) which is focused on adapting to loss as a re-learning process and consists of psychoeducation and experiential learning activities focusing on six Healing Milestones. We will explain how these milestones promote acceptance of the reality of the loss and restore the capacity for well-being and provide clinical examples of the therapy.
