Prolonged Grief Disorder: Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment
Live Real-Time Interactive Webinar
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) (formerly Complicated Grief) was recently added in March 2022 to the DSM-5TR as a new diagnosis. Therefore, it is essential that practicing Mental Health Therapists understand PGD and how to treat it. Prolonged Grief and PGD is a condition in which grief remains pervasive and intense for many years, even decades after a loss. The symptoms are indicative of pervasive, intense grief that lasts longer than expected by the person’s social and cultural group and interferes with their life. Bereaved people with PGD are typically caught up in troubling thoughts or feelings, problematic behaviors or severe social or life problems that derail the process of adapting to the loss. Grief interferes with their life and impairs their functioning.Â
In this workshop, Danielle Glorioso, LCSW will explain the relationship between usual grief, complicated grief and PGD and describe how to recognize the latter. She’ll include strategies and procedures for screening, diagnosis and assessment of individuals with PGD and discuss how to differentiate this condition from MDD and PTSD. She’ll describe simple, evidence-based guidelines for strategies and procedures used in prolonged grief disorder therapy focusing on facilitating adaptation to loss and addressing impediments to adaptation.Â
