Grief Support Groups
While grief counseling has always been an aspect of any clinical
psychology practice, it wasn't until around the 1970s that health care
professionals began to show an increased interest in issues relating to
death, and thus increased interest related to the subjects of grief and
bereavement. As this therapeutic practice began to be formalized as a
distinct psychological discipline, a number of practitioners dedicated
themselves to specific research focused on loss and grief counseling.
The result was a growing body of literature, replete with its own
terminology and best practice methods.The overarching purpose of grief
counseling is to help individuals overcome negative feelings and
thoughts that are associated with the loss of a loved one. Current
methods focus either on individual counseling offered by psychologists,
social workers, or specially trained counselors, or in a less formal way
through support groups organized by community groups and specific
organizations dedicated to this kind of work.
