| Popis: | We have reviewed the articles submitted by Walter (2006), Neimeyer (2005–2006, this issue), Stroebe and Schut (2005–2006, this issue), and Prigerson and Maciejewski (2005–2006, thiss issue). Walter (2005–2006, this issue) assumes a social constructivist perspective of complicated grief. His article focuses on a number of issues that we believe to be extrinsic to the primary issue of the definition of complicated grief. We do not view the movement toward a new diagnosis of complicated grief as a normalization of grief as a construct of psychiatry (“psychiatric medicine” is a redundant term), an operational requirement of “bereavement agencies,” a concept through which society can discipline the bereaved, a label applied to those who actively resist cultural grieving norms, a product of societal obsession with risk, or a result of “negotiating participants in the bereavement field.” We also do not assume that complicated grief is a “psychological disorder” but, rather, a type of psychopathology (without reference to professional discipline). |
