Considerable effort has gone into studying bereavement in children, adults and the elderly, but few studies have investigated the effects of bereavement or grief interventions in young adults. Even fewer studies have reported on the effect of interventions for young adults with grief complications. The present study seeks to help fill this gap by describing a Danish treatment program specially developed for young adults with complicated grief reactions. The dual process model of coping with bereavement, psychodynamic theory, and a narrative approach provide the foundation for the treatment. In addition, it utilizes an eclectic use of techniques and a group treatment modality that involves providing individual therapy within a group context. The core elements of the treatment are discussed and then exemplified in two case studies.

研究儿童、成人和老年人的丧亲之痛已经付出了相当大的努力，但很少有研究调查丧亲之痛或悲伤干预对年轻人的影响。更少的研究报告了干预措施对患有悲伤并发症的年轻人的影响。本研究旨在通过描述专门为具有复杂悲伤反应的年轻人开发的丹麦治疗计划来帮助填补这一空白。应对丧亲之痛的双重过程模型、心理动力学理论和叙事方法为治疗提供了基础。此外，它还采用了不拘一格的技术使用方式和涉及在群体环境中提供个体治疗的群体治疗方式。讨论了治疗的核心要素，然后在两个案例研究中举例说明。
