Prolonged grief and posttraumatic stress disorder following the loss of a significant other: An investigation of cognitive and behavioural differences.

<h4>Background</h4>Cognitive behavioural correlates to bereavement-related mental health problems such a Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are of theoretical and clinical importance.<h4>Methods</h4>Individuals bereaved at least six months...

Individuals were assigned to one of four groups depending on probable clinical diagnoses (No-PGD/PTSD, PTSD, PGD, PGD+PTSD).<h4>Results</h4>Results indicated that higher loss-related memory characteristics and lower grief resilience increased the likelihood of a clinical problem.
