Grief is chosen as the IPT focus area when psychological distress is associated with the death of a person close to someone we are emotionally attached.

Grief can also be conceptualized more broadly as other losses in our lives, such as loss of a relationship, loss of physical health, infertility, anticipatory grief of another’s or of one’s own death.

The goal of grief as the focus area is to help psychotherapists, such as psychologists and psychiatrist, among other health professionals, to work through the phases of loss and to help them come to a resolution of your grief.

In this course, we are going to work through grief, which means exploring and understanding the grief reaction, but also communicating that experience to others and developing a social support network, with validated scientific strategies, in order for mental health professionals be more efficient with patients during the administration of the Interpersonal Psychotherapy model.
