Complicated Grief in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Complicated Grief Group Therapy
Abstract
Purpose This study compared the efficacy of complicated grief therapy (CGT; Shear, K. [2003]. Complicated grief: A guidebook for therapists [Liberty Version]. New York State Office of Mental Heath; Shear, K., Frank, E., Houck, P. R., & Reynolds, C. F. 3rd [2005]. Treatment of complicated grief: A randomized controlled trial. The Journal of the American Medical Association, 293, 2601-2608) administered as group therapy (CGGT) with standard group therapy (treatment as usual [TAU]) in older adults presenting with complicated grief (CG). Methods The design was a 2×4, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. The independent variable was group type, with 1 group receiving experimental methods based on the work of Shear et al. (Shear, K., Frank, E., Houck, P. R., & Reynolds, C. F. 3rd. [2005]. Treatment of complicated grief: a randomized controlled trial. The Journal of the American Medical Association, 293, 2601-2608), CGGT versus. TAU. The dependent variable was treatment response. Results CGGT participants demonstrated higher treatment response than TAU participants. Although participants in both groups showed improvement in CG measures, CGGT participants realized significantly greater improvement. More importantly, when CG was measured on Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale, nearly half of CGGT participants realized clinically significant improvement. All CGGT completers had Brief Grief Questionnaire scores upon follow-up that, had they scored at that level at pretest, woul…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
