Group-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Complicated Grief Reactions

"CBTgrief is a transdiagnostic psychotherapeutic treatment for complicated grief reactions, i.e., symptoms of prolonged grief disorder as well as post-loss depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. The treatment manual is developed by Professor Paul A. Boelen. CBTgrief includes methods such as psycho-education, homework, exposure, alteration of grief-related negative automatic thoughts, behavioural activation, and goal-oriented work. CBTgrief consists of 12 sessions with a session duration of 2.25 hours for the group format.~Group-based CBTgrief will follow the same content and exercises for each session as individually delivered CBTgrief."
