A variant of guided exposure to mourning for use with treatment resistant patients.
We report a variant of "guided exposure to mourning," designed for use with patients who have proved resistant to other treatments for unresolved, morbid grief. The work provides some indication as to when such behavioral techniques for resolution of morbid grief are likely to prove successful, and when not.
