Resolution of Delusional Parasitosis within Complicated Grief Group Therapy: A Case Analysis

We examined the therapeutic process of grief change in survivors of suicide participating in complicated grief group therapy (CGGT) using the meaning of loss codebook (MLC). Complicated grief group therapy is a multimodal group psychotherapy designed to restore normal grieving in persons with complicated grief. Using video data, we evaluated transition points in psychotherapy associated with meaning reconstruction: retelling the narrative of the death, having an imaginal conversation with the deceased, and memory integration. The MLC codes captured most of the voiced statements of participants, provided a valuable lens for articulating the therapeutic process, and affirmed that CGGT facilitated effective grief.
