When death takes from a family one of its members, the emotional and practical impact on the surviving family members of all ages can be profound, as can post-loss adjustments require on both individual and relational levels. This training will examine a number of unique losses in family systems through a meaning reconstruction lens and the different challenges they imply because of the deceased’s pre-death roles and involvements in the family. This will also enable you to adapt your assessment and intervention accordingly so as to facilitate adaptive responses to the resulting disruptions in the attachment and family life narratives.
