Treating Childhood Traumatic Grief
Abstract
Childhood traumatic grief (CTG) has been described as a condition in which children whose loved ones die under traumatic circumstances develop trauma symptoms which impinge on the children&s;s ability to progress through typical grief processes. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) CTG model is a phased treatment approach which includes both trauma- and grief-focused modules. The psychoeducation component of the CBT-CTG treatment begins at the first assessment, and continues throughout the course of therapy. Many parents of traumatically bereaved children react by foregoing typical discipline routines. In the earlier parts of CBT-CTG, cognitive processing does not focus on the traumatic death, but instead assists the child and parent in recognizing connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday situations. Some children with CTG develop generalized trauma reminders and persistently avoid these reminders to a degree that interferes with their daily functioning.

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.
