In the United States more than 2 million persons die annually, often leaving surviving family members requiring support services to assist them with the grief process. Symptoms of bereavement are generally similar to symptoms characteristic of a Major Depressive Episode and can include sadness, insomnia, poor appetite and weight loss. However, grief can be experienced in different ways depending on factors such as age, gender, social and cultural influences, social supports and the provision of after-care services. While research efforts across health disciplines (i.e., counseling, psychology, social work, palliative medicine, psychiatry, and nursing) have led to evidence-based treatments for the bereaved patient, there remains a gap in the training of health professionals with regard to the delivery of care for bereaved persons. This course attempts to fill that gap with a comprehensive, overview of the roles health professionals play in caring for these patients and a theory-and evidence-based presentation of relevant treatment approaches. Specifically, grief stage theory, the importance of social and group support in the management of bereavement, and differential bereavement symptomatology across sociodemographic boundaries are discussed, including the impact of age and a cross-cultural perspective on bereavement and complicated grief treatment.
