The prescription to grieve.
This clinical note presents a method of bereavement counseling. It describes a technique for structuring a time-limited grief experience for the bereaved client as a way to provide encouragement and direction for an emotional catharsis. Three specific activities: journaling, the life review, and dialoguing with the deceased, are each briefly discussed as suggested tasks for the client's grief work.
