Psychologie de la mort et du deuil

We are all mortal. Yet death is so hermetic and foreign to us that we often feel helpless and clumsy in the face of the suffering of grief. For most of us, what we lack is an intelligent understanding of the tumultuous cognitive and behavioral reasons that death evokes. By answering the many questions that arise when supporting a grieving person, "Psychology of Death and Grief" enables effective intervention with the bereaved or helps one to better cope with their own losses. We will learn to understand and assist those who have lost a loved one. We will be able to detect if they need professional care. We will see why some griefs are problematic and why it is important to encourage the expression of emotions during mourning. We will discuss the attitude to adopt with grieving children, the benefits of funerary rituals, life review, etc.  The psychology of death and mourning aims to understand the psychological aspects of death and grieving, and to offer comfort and well-being to the bereaved. It is addressed to all those who are called in their work or daily lives to alleviate the suffering of grieving individuals and those who are dying.
