Complicated grief after suicide bereavement and other causes of death
The authors compared baseline demographic characteristics, clinical features, and grief-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals bereaved by suicide, accident/homicide and natural causes participating in a complicated grief (CG) treatment clinical trial. Severity of CG and depression and current depression diagnosis did not vary by loss type. After adjusting for baseline demographic features, time since death and relationship to t…
Complicated grief and related bereavement issues for DSM-5
Bereavement is a severe stressor that typically incites painful and debilitating symptoms of acute grief that commonly progresses to restoration of a satisfactory, if changed, life. Normally, grief does not need clinical intervention. However, sometimes acute grief can gain a foothold and become a chronic debilitating condition called complicated grief. Moreover, the stress caused by bereavement, like other stressors, can increase the likelihood …
A Call for Training the Trainers
There is a widening disparity between the proportion of ethnic minority Americans in the population and the number of researchers from these minority groups. One major obstacle in this arena relates to a dearth of mentors for such trainees. The present academic settings are not optimal for development and sustenance of research mentors, especially for mentees from underrepresented minority ethnic groups. Mentoring skills can and should be evaluat…
Evaluation of Outcomes With Citalopram for Depression Using Measurement-Based Care in STAR*D
OBJECTIVE: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used to treat depression, but the rates, timing, and baseline predictors of remission in "real world" patients are not established. The authors' primary objectives in this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of citalopram, an SSRI, using measurement-based care in actual practice, and to identify predictors of symptom remission in outpatients with major depressive disorder.…
Sources of Assistance in an Urban Ethnic Community
The question of what sources of aid and assistance were relied upon in hypothetical crisis situations was examined in a representative sample of Jews in a middle-sized American city. Restriction of the source of assistance to the nuclear family was the primary strategy reported, followed by consultation with professionals. Kin and friends were seen as about of equal importance with very little utilization of general purpose counseling agencies re…
