ABSTRACT Elisabeth Kűbler-Ross’s influential book, On death and dying, is a collection of very moving case studies of people approaching death, which, in 1969, helped to bring public attention to the topic and drew attention to the need for improving care. Sadly, her self-promotion, and her failure to acknowledge or to work with other pioneers in the developing field of Hospice and Palliative Care, left her isolated from the mainstream and vulnerable to exploitation by her devotees.

Some of the words and terms in common usage following bereavement are ambiguous or likely to be misunderstood. Words that need special caution include ‘grief,’, ‘mourning’, ‘meaning-making’, ‘dependent,’ ‘empathy’, and various words used to describe the problems to which grief can give rise. The risk of misunderstanding is no reason to stop using these terms; problems can be avoided if

Over the last millennium, patterns of mortality have changed and have determined who grieves and how. At all times grief has been recognized as a threat to physical and mental health. More recently the scientific study of bereavement has enabled us to quantify such effects and to develop theoretical explanations for them. This article reviews our evolving understanding of grief, focusing especially on the developments in research, theory, and practice that have come about in the last century. Wars and similar conflicts are associated with repression of grief, but methods of helping by facilitating its expression that developed during the 2 World Wars are less needed and effective at other times. In recent years more attention has been paid to the social context in which grief arises and, particularly, to the nature of the attachments that precede and influence the reaction to bereavement and to other traumatic life events. At the same time a range of caring resources has become available and acceptable to bereaved people and the results of scientific evaluation of these gives promise that we are moving toward an era in which more sensitive and appropriate care will be provided to the bereaved by both voluntary and professional caregivers.

Recent studies have suggested that the vulnerability to complicated grief (CG) may be rooted in insecure attachment styles developed in childhood. The aim of this study was to examine the etiologic relevance of childhood separation anxiety (CSA) to the onset of CG relative to major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder in bereaved individuals. The Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV, Inventory of Complicated Grief-Revised, and CSA items from the Panic Agoraphobic Spectrum Questionnaire were administered to 283 recently bereaved community-dwelling residents at an average of 10.6 months postloss. CSA was significantly associated with CG (OR = 3.2; 95% CI, 1.2-8.9), adjusting for sex, level of education, kinship relationship to the deceased, prior history of psychiatric disorder, and history of childhood abuse. CSA was not significantly associated with major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder.

There are many ways of construing the psychology of loss. This paper describes one such model, which enlightens some, but not all, aspects of bereavement and needs to be used alongside other models. Loss is one aspect of psychosocial transition, the psychological change that takes place whenever people are faced with the need to undertake a major revision of their assumptions about the world. The paper focuses on the ways in which people change or fail to change their internal model of the world in the face of emergent events. Examples are taken from bereavement, loss of a limb, and the succession of losses that mark the course of terminal illness. Implications for identifying people at risk and mitigating that risk are outlined.
