“…There are a few reports about specific psychotherapeutic strate gies, pointing out the efficacy of the use of'linking objects' (e.g. personal possessions of the deceased) as a means of provoking 're-grief work [28], a behavioural technique of 'guided mourning' [29], a semi-behavioural forced mourning procedure [30], flooding and prolonged expo sure [31], and a combination of cognitive and analytic approaches to modify the patient's self-image [19], The various psychotherapeutic approaches share some fea tures. Most therapies provide the bereaved with informa tion about what to expect, attempt to put order in their puzzling array of feelings and behaviours, encourage the expression of emotions and affects, endeavour to help the bereaved to reconcile themselves with their new relation ship with the dead person, and attend to the bereaved individual's new identity [1], Parkes [3] remarks that techniques aimed at bringing about the expression of grief are only appropriate when there is evidence of avoidance and repression of grief, while in other patients it may be important to give the patient permission to stop grieving, being careful not to collude with any tendency to consider grief as an obligation to the dead.…”

“…In de literatuur bestaat geen eenduidige opvatting over normale en pathologische rouw (Parkes, 1972;Rafael, 1975;Shuchter & Zisook, 1993;Volkan, 1972;Zisook & DeVaul, 1985). Een eenduidige omschrijving van het begrip pathologische rouw is dan ook niet eenvoudig te geven vanwege de diverse theoretische constructen en de verschillende factoren die van invloed zijn op de uitkomst van het rouwproces.…”
