“Prolonged Grief Disorder: A Post-Traumatic Loss Disorder (PTLD)”
Katherine Shear, M.D.,
Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University School of Social Work
Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) is a new diagnosis in official diagnostic systems developed by the World Health Organization (ICD-11) and the American Psychiatric Association (DSM 5 TR). In this clinically-focused presentation. Dr. Katherine Shear will explain the difference between usual grief and PGD and suggest that the name “prolonged grief” is a part of the confusion about this. She will also address ways to screen, assess, and diagnosis PGD, including the differential diagnosis. She will provide a conceptual understanding of grief and adaptation to loss. She will describe how her team used this understanding to develop a series of “healing milestones” to guide “Prolonged Grief Therapy”, an evidence-based integrative psychotherapy.
