, Week 1
Lecture: Introduction to the course / general introduction on loss & Psychotrauma
Marjolein Missler & Mirjam van Zuiden

Grief
Loss: separation from someone or something that you are attached to
→ separation distress (grief): pain, sadness, difficulties accepting
Psychotrauma: experiencing or witnessing an event that is traumatic (threaten to safety/control/health)
→ traumatic distress: anxiety, hypervigilance, sense of current threat (not believing its is in the past)

These subjects are different from each other, however they can overlap (for example: traumatic loss)


bereavement situation of having lost a loved one/relative

grief the emotional/psychological response to this loss
→ all responses occurring after being separated from an attachment
figure
→ individual process

mourning behavioral and social expressions of grief, which are shaped by
culture or society

unhealthy, disordered, complicated grief general term for stagnated grief

prolonged grief disorder term for formal classification of grieving disorder


Misconceptions about grief
● grieving is a process occuring in phases (and you need to go through all phases)
● the same reaction (anger/depression/sadness) are always part of the grieving process
● intense emotions in the initial period if mourning predict healthy adjustment, absence of reactions indicate
unhealthy/abnormal grief
● losing a child is always worse than losing a partner
● a grieving process ends after a curtains period (1 or 2 year)

Grief it is associated with feelings (yearning, longing, loneliness, guilt), behavior (proximity seeking),
thoughts/cognitions (preoccupation with thoughts about deceased or moment of death, loss of concentration,
lowered self-esteem), perceptions (sensation of seeing the person, feeling that the separation is unreal) and physical
(sleep-related problems, stress, low energy)

Instead of going through phases, it is more about doing
tasks. Following the Grief Task Model, tasks include:
● accepting the reality of the loss
● allowing yourself to experience all the emotions
● adjusting to life without deceased
● relocating the deceased emotionally
● move on

Normal grief is switching between loss-orientated and
restoration-oriented. When there is no switching (so
someone has just one orientation) or when someone goes
outside the ‘normal’ intensity of the orientation, the grief is considered disturbed.

, Prolonged grief disorder

Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a
relative new diagnosis, described in both
ICD-11 as DSM-5-TR

Important differences:
● typological vs detailed description
of criteria
● number of symptoms and severity
specifications for diagnosis
● timing after loss when diagnosis
can be made

Determinants of grief:
● background of bereaved person
● characteristics of the death
(sudden, traumatic circumstances,
etc)
● characteristics of the deceased
(relationship, quality, etc)
● situation after the loss (support,
secondary losses, coping, etc)




Distinction between PGD and ‘healthy grief’
● degree of progress in grieving
○ PGD? no progress or worsening over time
● duration of grief
○ PGD? grief reaction persist (6 month ICD of 12 months DSM)
● degree of suffering
○ PDG? grief causes distress + impairs function

When you suspect PDG, you can do a stepped diagnostic assessment
1. self-report questionnaire to get indication of disturbed grief
● for example: traumatic grief inventory self report plus (TGI-SR+)
○ total score of >71 indicates clinically relevant PGD
2. clinical interview to make formal diagnosis

10% of people get PGD following natural loss, 49% following unnatural/violent losses
risk factors for PGD: protective factors for PGD:
● being a woman ● the younger, the better
● stigmatizing (negative responses) ● high education
● personality (depression, anxiety, neuroticism) ● perceived support
● anxious attachment ● secure attachment
Other factors: death of children/partners or unnatural/violent death leads to more intense reaction
