3 Workshop Overview Module 1: What is Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD)? Module 2: Grief in relation to attachment and loss Module 3: Grief as a process Module 4: Interventions for PGD
4 Module 1: What is Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD)? What are the diagnostic criteria for PGD? Symptoms and diagnostic criteria Goals Learn how to distinguish normal grief from PGD Learn how to diagnose PGD and distinguish it from MDD and PTSD
5 Prolonged Grief Disorder Pathological reaction to loss distinct from bereavement-related depression and anxiety Unlike normal grief, individuals with PGD appear to be stuck in their grief and protest the reality of the loss Prevalence ranges from 10%
6 Symptoms PGD Dep Anx depressed blues anxious nervous yearn intrusive thoughts ID symptoms drawn->reminders feel presence
7 Criteria for PGD A. Loss: Loss of something loved B. Separation Distress: to a daily, distressing, or disruptive degree: 1. Yearning, pining longing for the lost person 2. Intense feelings of emotional pain, sorrow, or pangs of grief
8 C. Cognitive, Emotional, Behavioral Symptoms: (5+/9 daily or to disruptive degree) 1. Confusion about one s identity ( role in life or diminished sense of self; feeling that a part of oneself has died) 2. Difficulty accepting the loss 3. Avoidance of reminders of the reality of the loss 4. Inability to trust others since the loss 5. Bitterness or anger related to the loss 6. Difficulty moving on with life (eg, making new friends, pursuing interests); feeling stuck in grief 7. Numbness (absence of emotion) since the loss 8. Feeling that life is unfulfilling, empty, and meaningless since the loss 9. Feeling stunned, dazed or shocked by the loss
9 Diagnostic Criteria for PGD D. Duration: At least 6 months elapsed since the loss E. Impairment: The above symptomatic disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (e.g., domestic responsibilities)
10 Making the Distinction: How is PGD Different from Normal Grief? It is normal for a bereaved person to be very upset in the months after the loss It is normal to miss the person who died greatly It is normal to cherish the memories of the deceased person It is normal to feel upset during anniversaries of the death, the deceased s birthday or wedding anniversary It is normal not to feel sad and tearful when reminded of the loss
11 Making the Distinction: How is PGD Different from Normal Grief? It is not normal for a bereaved person to feel unsure of who s/he is or where they fit in after the loss It is not normal to be chronically disinterested and disengaged in others and the world around him/her It is not normal to feel that there is no joy or hope for the future without the deceased
12 Making the Distinction: Why is PGD not Major Depressive Disorder? PGD uniquely includes separation distress (yearning and pining for the deceased), which is not seen in other mental disorders MDD is characterized more by sadness than PGD PGD symptoms are more stable over time than MDD symptoms
13 Making the Distinction: Why is PGD not PTSD? Yearning is only found in PGD and not present in PTSD In PGD, memories of the deceased are bittersweet at once comforting but distressing because they remind the bereaved of the loss In PTSD, the world is a scary place with danger at every turn and fear is more prominent than PGD s sorrow over being without source of security and safety
14 Making the Distinction: Why is PGD not PTSD? In PGD, the precipitating event of loss is a universal experience PGD symptoms are related to Attachment to the deceased Difficulty processing the reality of the loss and reorienting in the world without the deceased In PGD, there is always an impact on social support network Fear and threat are less prominent in PGD; sadness is less prominent in PTSD Adapted from Lichtenthal 2014

18 Module 2: Grief in relation to loss and attachment Topics Overview of Attachment Theory Empirical support of the role of dependency in PGD onset Goals Understand secure and insecure attachment styles Appreciate the role of attachment style in PGD
19 Attachment Theory Bowlby, 1982 Internal working models of attachment (insecure vs. secure) developed in childhood shape individuals responses to separation and loss Attachment figures help us regulate our emotions and fears Separation and loss rupture attachment bonds Attachment styles affect how a person will react to loss, aka grief
20 Personal loss history Module 2: Exercise #1
21 Specific Risk Factors/Clinical Correlates for PGD Sociodemographics: Kinship relationships -- parents/spouses * (*= not MDD) African Americans * Biomarkers: No shortened REM latency * (EEG) Brain imaging * (f/mri) nucleus accumbens; smaller brain volume Psychosocial Factors: Pre-loss PGD symptomatology Dependency on deceased * Parental loss, abuse or serious neglect in childhood Parental control Separation anxiety in childhood * Preoccupation with relationships; need for approval*(insecure attachments) Preference for lifestyle regularity * - averse to change Lack of preparation for the death * Hospitalized (compared with home hospice) deaths*
22 Cognition, Structural Brain Changes and Complicated Grief. A Population-Based Study Study: Rotterdam Study no grief (control group, N=4731), normal grief (N=615), complicated grief (N=155) Result: CG participants had lower scores for Letter-digit test, Word fluency test, and smaller brain volumes than controls Conclusion: CG participants performed poorly on cognitive tests and had a smaller total brain volume. This suggests there is a neurological correlate of complicated but not of normal grief in the elderly Saavedra Pérez Tiemeier Psychological Medicine 2014
23 Dependent Relationships Poor Bereavement Adjustment Close, dependent, harmonious relationships create heightened risk for PGD (vandoorn, Johnson, Carr, Lai)

28 Black Mother: Normal Grief
29 Personal assessment for PGD Module 2: Exercise #3
30 Module 3: Grief as a process The course of grief States of grief Pathways to acceptance (normal grief) Pathways to problems (Prolonged Grief Disorder) Goals Appreciate the role of time in adjustment (or maladjustment) to loss
31 Module 3: Exercise #1 Discuss with workshop participants attitudes toward bereavement adjustment What is normal What is not, when does grief become pathological? Cultural considerations (role of French culture, religious and other rituals)
32 Question: How do you know if a grief reaction is normal? Answer: Time will tell. Time Heals most wounds path of acceptance ~90% of bereavement reactions are normal Most people gradually adjust/accommodate to the loss
33 But time doesn t heal all wounds path to Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) ~10% will follow an unending path of sorrow These are the people who may benefit from help
34 For typical bereavement (e.g., late-life widowhood after natural death) Most bereaved people accept death, even initially Acceptance increases with time from loss On scale where: 1= < 1/mo; 2= monthly; 3= weekly; 4=daily; 5= > 1X/day

46 Module 3: Exercise #3 Describe prolonged grief and its consequences in someone you know How has grief affected someone you know, specifically, his/her ability to function?
47 Module 4: Interventions for PGD
48 Evidence-based Recommendations for Why: do benefits of intervening outweigh the costs? Bereavement Interventions: Why, Who, When, & What What: what interventions are most effective, for whom? Who: which bereaved should be targeted for intervention? When: how soon to intervene after loss?
49 Why Intervene? On Whom to Intervene? Vast majority fine and gradually... Move from very upset, disturbed to diminished distress, eventual adjustment Questionable whether would benefit from intervention Significant minority not fine and time won t heal;; At risk for enduring distress and dysfunction ( eternal path of sorrow ) Interventions improve their quality of life; potentially reduce adverse outcomes: Social withdrawal, suicidality, alcohol abuse, high blood pressure, functional disability, loss of productivity
50 To accept the reality of the loss Task Model Worden, 2009 To work through the pain of grief To adjust to the environment without the deceased To emotionally relocate the deceased and move forward with life
51 Dual Process Model of Coping Loss-oriented mode involves confrontation with grief and loss Restoration-oriented mode involves reengagement in life Natural way of adapting to loss involves oscillation between these two modes Stroebe & Schut, 1999
52 Signs of adaptation While often profoundly painful, the majority of individuals adapt to the loss over time: Able to acknowledge the loss Able to transform their relationship to the deceased Able to reengage in work, leisure, and creative activities Able to maintain and develop personal relationships Able to consider their lives and the future as potentially meaningful and satisfying Bonanno, Wortman, & Nesse, 2004; Lichtenthal, Prigerson, & Kissane, 2010; Lichtenthal et al., 2011
53 When to intervene? Really Early Intervention: Pre-loss in caregivers who are very dependent and have high levels of pre-loss grief (PG- 12) Benefits of preparation for the death: Promotes accept of death, reduces grief Opportunity to say goodbye Fewer regrets Result in better quality of death better bereavement outcomes Litz Healing Experiences After Loss (HEAL) Litz suggests early post-loss period a time of re-establishing healthy routines Online, CBT-based preventive intervention Early intervention speedier rate of recovery
54 What Interventions Work? CBT-based Psychotherapies Complicated Grief Therapy (Shear, 2005, 2014) Psycho-ed about normal and CG Dual process of adaptive coping adjust to loss & restoration of satisfying life (goals defined with motivational enhancement) Model: Grief is a trauma, people avoid trauma; exposure-based therapy reduces/desensitizes distress re: trauma Exposure for traumatic avoidance imagined conversation with deceased; retelling the death scene Prolonged Grief Therapy (Bryant, 2014) CBT with exposure therapy where patients relive the experience of a death of a loved one, resulted in greater reductions in measures of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) than CBT alone O Donnell Tanzanian orphans 2014;; Rosner German outpatients 2014; Boelen 2007
55 Effective Approaches Cognitive restructuring techniques help the griever to identify problematic aspects of the loss and to revise their understanding of them Exposure techniques typically involve imaginal components, such as telling the story of the loss, and in-vivo components, such as confronting avoidance of places or people associated with the loss
56 Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for PGD Address core processes believed to underlie symptoms 1) Conceptually process and integrate loss into existing autobiographical knowledge 2) Restructure maladaptive beliefs and interpretations 3) Reduce and replace avoidance strategies Address common cognitive errors and use meaning reconstruction Rebuild previously held assumptions to incorporate the loss Exposure (value added) Boelen, van den Hout, & van den Bout, 2006; Bryant et al., 2014; Fleming & Robinson, 2001
57 Complicated Grief Treatment: Loss-Focused Procedures Use revisiting to help comprehend reality, to think of the death at will, to identify hot spots or impasses, to reduce emotional intensity, and to create a coherent story Begin at terminal event Rate SUDS Keep brief so there is sufficient time to process in session Identify maladaptive beliefs and difficult images with repetition, processing, imaginal rehearsal with new scenarios, and restructuring can result in a cognitive shift Review memories and pictures Imaginal conversations after some progress has been made Shear, Frank, Houck, & Reynolds, 2005; Shear et al., 2014
58 Restoration-Focused Procedures Work on aspirational goals including dreams, relationships, and self-care to enhance autonomy and foster positive emotions Use motivational interviewing to explore what individual would do if grief severity were reduced Daily Activities Exercises Meet with significant other for additional perspective, to educate, and to enlist support
59 Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy (MCGT) Adaptation of Breitbart s Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy, similarly focusing on the ability one has to choose their attitude toward suffering Assists with reconnection to valued sources of meaning (creative, experiential, and attitudinal) Applies Neimeyer s meaning reconstruction to facilitate meaning-making through examination of cognitive schemas Assists with legacy building and development of one s story, as well as the deceased s story Help maintain connection to the deceased
60 Example MCGT Exercises Meaning of emotional reactions Mindfulness and guided imagery Imaginal conversation about how influenced by deceased Author of own story Letter writing of how want to keep deceased part of story Who Am I? (before, as caregiver, now, hope for future) Living Legacy Project Breitbart et al., 2012; Lichtenthal, 2012 ; Lichtenthal & Breitbart, 2012; Lichtenthal & Neimeyer, 2012
61 Interventions incorporating CBT have been developed for PGD Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for grief (Boelen et al., 2006) Internet-based treatment (Wagner et al., 2005) Meaning reconstruction (Neimeyer, 2002, 2012) Complicated Grief Treatment (CGT; Shear et al., 2005) Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy (Lichtenthal & Breitbart, in press) Prolonged Grief Therapy (Bryant, 2014) Healing Experiences After Loss (HEAL; Litz et al. 2014)

67 optimal gains with PGD patients are achieved when the emotions associated with the memories of the death and the sequelae of the loss are fully accessed.... Despite the distress elicited by engaging with memories of the death, this strategy does not lead to aversive responses. In light of evidence that many interventions provided to grieving people are not empirically supported, the challenge is to foster better education of clinicians through evidence-supported interventions to optimize adaptation to the loss as effectively as possible," Bryant Treating PGD: A Randomized Clinical Trial JAMA Psychiatry 2014
