The grieving adult and the general practitioner: a literature review in two parts (Part 2)

W R Woof et al. Br J Gen Pract. 1997 Aug.

Abstract

In part 1 of this review, published last month, literature exploring the psychological bereavement theories and the health consequences of bereavement are summarized. The second part builds on this to outline the debate surrounding the characteristics of abnormal bereavement, while also focusing on risk factors for this morbidity. This leads on to a summary of the literature on bereavement care, particularly from a general practice point of view. Finally, areas for further research are highlighted.
