Beskrivning

Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT) provides counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists (as well as students in these fields) with a flexible program for assessing and supporting children and adolescents who have experienced bereavement. MGT is a strength-based intervention, designed to reduce unhelpful grief reactions that prevent adjustment, and promote adaptive grief reactions that enable children to cope better after a death. It also reduces associated symptoms of psychological distress and helps bereaved children and adolescents lead healthy, happy, productive lives. As young people grieve in different ways and "one-size-fits-all" treatments often lack effectiveness, MGT uses an assessment-driven, two-phased approach to effectively address the unique mental health needs of diverse youth. This manual provides a wealth of activities and handouts designed specifically to engage and empower youth after experiencing a death, including under traumatic circumstances.

Recensioner i media

'This is a remarkably cogent volume on an assessment and treatment of childhood grief - developed after decades of clinical experience and empirical confirmation by a team of respected authors who recognize that 'one-size-fits-all' grief treatments lack effectiveness. Emphasizing that childhood grief occurs on a continuum, the volume's structure follows two phases. First is a detailed assessment of grief distress responses (separation distress, existential/identity distress and circumstance-related distress), a clarification of developmental vulnerabilities and resilience with reinforcement of psychoeducation and stabilization exercises that can be offered by non-clinicians. This is particularly relevant for bereavement support workers, faith-based personnel or school counselors. Phase two is a protocol for clinicians when grief distress is clearly maladaptive through a detailed series of fully described exercises of therapy, featuring extensive literature references, lists of grief/trauma measures, graphic narratives and writing exercises for the professional clinician.' Ted Rynearson, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of Washington
