Description

In the late 1990s grief theory and research saw a significant paradigm shift, moving away from the early “grief work”, stage-based models. Continuing Bonds theory emerged during this era, normalizing the ongoing relationships that individuals often maintain with deceased loved ones. In the years since the emergence of this theory, researchers and clinicians have examined the relationship between attachment theory and continuing bonds. Though continuing bonds theory is one of the most widely accepted and applied models among grief therapists and counselors, many clinicians who do not specialize in grief and the general public have limited knowledge of continuing bonds theory and its applications. A person's existing attachment style can have an impact on their grief, and grief can also have a significant impact on a person's attachment style. This session will provide a strong foundation in continuing bonds theory and attachment theory as it relates to grief and loss, as well as tools and activities to support continuing bonds.
