Workshop Outline: This workshop will provide participants with a strong grounding in Complicated Grief (CG). CG is a largely misunderstood disorder which affects about 10% of bereaved people. It is characterised by serious impairment in functioning and an inability to engage satisfactorily wtih everyday like. A growing body of evidence indicates that CG does not respond well to traditional supportive counselling and newly developed protocols, such as Shear's CGT, are showing improved outcomes for this population.
