title: Grieving: the role of self-reorganization.
abstract: Grieving is a well-known topic to psychodynamic clinicians. Nonetheless, the identity disturbance and identity growth issues that accompany the familiar problems are less well known. Phases of modification of self-organization during an adaptive mourning process can be facilitated by helping patients with pathological grief clarify the shifts they are experiencing in self-state and self-concepts.
