Diagnosis: Prolonged Grief Disorder
$35.95
The 2024 Living with Grief® program highlights prolonged grief disorder as a new addition to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed., text rev.) (DSM-5-TR). Panelists explore the nature of the disorder and, using a case study approach, examine the diagnosis of the condition, when to refer for treatment, and effective evidence-based approaches to treatment.
3 hour CE program, exam and course evaluation required.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to:
- Review the diagnostic criteria for prolonged grief disorder (PGD) in the DSM-5-TR.
- Indicate the varied ways that the DSM-5-TR acknowledges a range of complications to the grieving process and how PGD differs from other diagnoses in the DSM-5-TR.
- Recognize the risk factors for PGD and the signs that make it appropriate to refer for treatment.
- Describe current evidence-based approaches to treating PGD.
- Discuss how the PGD diagnostic criteria may influence research and the treatment of grief complications in future editions of the DSM.
