We review the complex interplay between trauma and loss by traumatic means. The distinctions between normal and traumatic loss, and complicated and traumatic grief, are contrasted with the traditional conceptualization of posttraumatic stress disorder. The role of various mediators such as concurrent or life-span trauma exposure and interpersonal factors, particularly the degree of attachment to the individual or group traumatically lost, is discussed.

In all instances of severe or prolonged grief, there was no preparation for the parental death, either through preparatory counseling or practical plans for funeral arrangements, financial repercussions, life-style changes, or residential relocation.

All participants in this study reported experiencing losses of some nature, some of which were tangible and others less so. However, these do not appear to be strictly independent from each other in that tangible losses, such as loss of income, were underpinned by intangible losses, such as loss of self-esteem. For CR patients, it seems that the losses reported are experienced at more than one level.The first is an externally visible and objectively quantifiable level (for example, loss of occupation) , whereas the second is a more symbolic, phenomenologically based level (for example, loss of purpose as previously defined through one's occupational role). The CR program examined in this study helped patients to effectively deal with these losses and to experience additional developmental gain.","PeriodicalId":47527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss & Trauma","volume":"6 1","pages":"301 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2001-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/108114401317087815","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59635572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory of mental incongruity predicts that behavioral and mental coping are responses to experienced loneliness and that they are facilitated by actual and perceived opportunities or resources. Results show that the availability of social relationships and better general health encourage coping responses among the bereaved, as well as, unexpectedly, higher social anxiety and financial stress. Results reveal opposite effects for women and men. As time elapses since the death of the partner, men more often share their emotions with others than women. Also, the results suggest that resources play different roles in coping responses of recently bereaved women and men. Among widowers financial stress may impede emotional coping responses, while among widows higher education and having a best female friend seem to function as riskfactors in coping with loss. Relative health, or the feeling one is better off than comparable others, may protect against the negative effects of partner death, particularly among recently bereaved women. It is concluded that the proposed theory offers useful concepts in understanding how recently bereaved individuals cope with partner death; however,it is not helpful in explaining the gender differences found in the present study. Further, the findings question the supposed less favorable health position of older widows and the more favorable social position of older widows and socioeconomic position of older widowers.","PeriodicalId":47527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss & Trauma","volume":"6 1","pages":"243 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/108114401753201688","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59635679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss the first author's development of a class that focuses on loss and trauma. This class emphasizes the view of loss as a pervasive aspect of human life and that it is the core experience for other phenomena, including trauma and chronic illness. The course involves a component in which students write about some loss experience that may reflect their personal life. This component permits many students to express pain, sometimes for one of the first times in their lives, regarding the events in question and relate their experience to what they have learned in the course. Significant features of the course are a score of videos and guest presentations, documenting the diversity of loss and people's myriad ways of coping with loss. It is argued that the course and students' experiences in fulfilling course requirements speak to the gains that may be realized by honest, in-depth probing of losses within the context of psychological and other literatures.","PeriodicalId":47527,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss & Trauma","volume":"6 1","pages":"263 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/108114401753201697","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59635736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
