Prolonged grief disorder: Diagnostic, assessment, and treatment considerations. (2014, methodology): “For example, in the Shear et al.

COMPLICATED GRIEF AND RELATED BEREAVEMENT ISSUES FOR DSM-5 (2011, background): “There is evidence that CG requires targeted treatment.[110] Additionally, it is possible that grief symptoms could interact with symptoms of other disorders, even when threshold level CG is not present.”
Meaning Reconstruction in the First Two Years of Bereavement: The Role of Sense-Making and Benefit-Finding (2006, background): “…with past longitudinal research (e.g., Davis et al., 1998; McIntosh et al., 1993) and experimental studies of cognitive and meaning-based therapies (Shear et al., 2005; Wagner et al., 2006) provide preliminary evidence for the central role of meaning reconstruction in the aftermath of loss.”
Diagnosis and classification of disorders specifically associated with stress: proposals for ICD‐11 (2013, background): “Importantly, psychological therapy that strategically targets the symptoms of prolonged grief disorder has been shown to alleviate their occurrence more effectively than treatments that target depression (30).”

Resilience to loss and potential trauma. (2011, methodology): “Recovery: an outcome pattern characterized by elevated symptoms and functional impairment after the PTE, followed by a gradual return to baseline functioning”
Prolonged Grief Disorder: Psychometric Validation of Criteria Proposed for DSM-V and ICD-11 (2009, background): “Because standard treatments for depression have not always proven effective for the reduction of PGD [49–52], whereas psychotherapies designed specifically to ameliorate symptoms of PGD have demonstrated efficacy [53,54], there exists a need for the accurate detection and specialized treatment of PG”
Grief Therapy and the Reconstruction of Meaning: From Principles to Practice (2009, positive): “plays a pivotal part in demonstrably efficacious treatments for complicated grief (Shear et al. 2005).”
Anxious and Depressive Avoidance and Symptoms of Prolonged Grief, Depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (2010, background): “There is quite some evidence for the effectiveness of exposure in the treatment of CG/PGD (Boelen et al., 2007; Ramsay, 1977; Shear et al., 2005).”
