Live Interactive Webinar

 

Seminar Description

This webinar will identify the psychological dynamics in contending with the sudden death of a loved one, which naturally predispose the survivor to complicated mourning for varying periods of time. We will examine, among other things, the phenomenon of sudden death bereavement and why research demonstrates that it causes higher prevalence of PTSD than any other event; creates traumatic bereavement; triggers mental health issues in adults with no history of psychiatric conditions; and has a different and slower trajectory of recovery. In treatment, more than mere grief facilitation is required. Dr. Rando will provide therapists cutting-edge information and practical strategies for dealing with the volatile mixture of trauma and loss that presents after sudden death.
