“…Classical theories of grief include: the “Five Stages” model, describing a sequence of emotional states (Kübler-Ross & Byock, 1969); attachment theory-based descriptions of painful bond breaking (Bowlby, 1979); and the “Dual Process” model, describing oscillation between loss processing and restoration (Schut, 1999). More recently, models informed by neurobiology and/or behavioural neuroscience have suggested that learning (O’connor & Seeley, 2022; Boddez, 2018), representational change (Shear & Shair, 2005), competitive (Békés, Roberts, & Németh, 2023) and cognitive-behavioral (Maccallum & Bryant, 2013) processes play central roles in grief, and may have identifiable neural correlates (Gündel, O’Connor, Littrell, Fort, & Lane, 2003).…”

Grief is a reaction to loss that is observed across human cultures and even in other species. While the particular expressions of grief vary significantly, universal aspects include experiences of emotional pain and frequent remembering of what was lost. Despite its prevalence, and its obvious nature, the normative value of grief is puzzling:Whydo we grieve? Why is itpainful? And why is it sometimes prolonged enough to be clinically impairing? Using the framework of reinforcement learning with memory replay, we offer answers to these questions and suggest that grief may have normative value with respect to reward maximization.

Background: The first version of the Perrotta Human Emotions Model (PHEM) responded to the need for better structuring, in a functional framework, of emotions and sentiments, giving the proper role to anxiety, according to a neurobiological perspective, in a strategic scheme, but needs structural and functional corrections. Methods: Clinical interview, based on narrative-anamnestic and documentary evidence, and battery of psychometric tests. Results: Statistical comparison of data obtained by administering PHEM-1 versus data obtained by administering PHEM-2 reported an R = 0.999, with p = ≤0.001, as is the case when testing clinical utility by assessing it using MMPI-2-RF and PICI-2. Conclusion: This research confirms the clinical usefulness of administering the PHEM-2, compared with the previous version, during psychotherapeutic encounters conducted according to the brief or otherwise integrated strategic approach.
