Abstract

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) interventions are effective in alleviating disturbed grief. CBT is typically delivered face-to-face. Government policy during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (quarantine and social distancing) may impede access to face-to-face therapy. Psychotherapy is now widely delivered remotely. In this article, various points of attention related to the application of CBT for disturbed grief using telephone or videoconferencing (or video calling) services are discussed. Additionally, we explore possible ways in which individual risk factors and stressors connected with COVID-19 can be addressed in treatment. Remote treatment brings challenges but also opportunities to help people in shifting from unhealthy to healthy grieving.

摘要

认知行为疗法（CBT）干预措施可以有效缓解悲伤情绪。CBT通常是面对面交付的。冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行（隔离和社会隔离）期间的政府政策可能会阻碍获得面对面治疗的机会。现在，心理治疗已广泛应用于远程。在本文中，讨论了与使用电话或视频会议（或视频呼叫）服务的不安悲伤相关的CBT应用的各种注意事项。此外，我们探索了可能的方式来治疗与COVID-19相关的个体危险因素和应激源。远程治疗既带来挑战，也带来机遇，可以帮助人们从不健康转变为健康的悲伤。
