Abstract

Gender differences in grieving are receiving growing attention. The prevalent view is that men often need help with their grieving. The bereaved male is frequently seen as impaired by an apparent inability both to express feelings and to seek social support. The authors present a pattern of grieving — masculine grief — contending that it is different, but not deficient. The use of the term “masculine” emphasises that the pattern is gender-related, not gender-specific. The authors identify the elements of masculine grief and furnish appropriate counselling interventions.

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.
