Abstract

Survivors of sudden, traumatic death are at risk for a variety of bereavement-related mental health problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and prolonged grief disorder. Because these conditions often cooccur, traumatic grief interventions are generally designed to be transdiagnostic, integrative treatments that combine techniques designed to treat a wide range of mood and anxiety symptoms. In this special section, expert clinicians and researchers present a series of papers describing new, integrative treatment models for violently bereaved children and adults and also describe ways that integrative treatments can be enhanced using peer support.
