YASIN ÖTESİNDEKİ PSİKOLOJİ

Abstract

time to heal. It can be defined as the normal process people go through to readjust their lives after a loss. Grief is expected to occur not only after the death of a loved one but also after separation, divorce, movement, migration, and abstract changes such as loss of trust, approval, security, faith, belief, or control over one's body. The core feeling behind all losses may be explained by disappointment in any change that occurs in one's life. To comprehend the psychology behind grief, it is important to understand the theoretical and conceptual framework of grief and use effective treatment approaches to move beyond grief. In this chapter, I provide a theoretical framework of grief, along with myths and cultural implications about the grieving process, and normal and pathological grief processes diagnosed as persistent complex bereavement disorder. Also, I mentioned about effective grief recovery methods as grief counseling, family therapy approaches, expressive art therapy; in addition to the psychotherapeutic approaches (cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, complicated grief therapy, and existential therapy).
