The Big Picture: PGDT Principles and Procedures
6.5 CE Contact Hours
This one-day workshop is designed to provide a conceptual framework for understanding grief and adaptation to the death of a loved one generally and in relation to Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD). We include strategies and procedures for screening, diagnosis, and assessment of individuals with PGD, and discuss how to differentiate this condition from major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. We provide an overview of PGDT and introduce some simple, practical procedures you can use in your practice.
