While bereavement is considered by many to be among the most stressful life events, it becomes even more distressing when it is related to the suicide of a loved one. Further, the death of a parent is traumatic for anyone, but it may be especially intensified for young children. This points to a strong need for the recognition and treatment of psychiatric and social problems associated with childhood bereavement.
The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and present a synopsis of the psychosocial outcomes of childhood suicide survivor bereavement and outline communication issues that emerge when talking with young suicide survivors.
A case is made to develop and test interventions designed to meet the mental health needs of this important group of individuals.
虽然许多人认为丧亲之痛是最具压力的生活事件之一,但当它与所爱之人的自杀相关时,会变得更加令人痛苦。此外,父母的去世对任何人来说都是创伤性的,但对幼儿来说可能会格外强烈。这表明迫切需要认识和治疗与童年丧亲相关的精神和社会问题。
本文的目的是回顾文献,概述童年自杀幸存者丧亲后的心理社会结果,并概述与年轻自杀幸存者交谈时出现的沟通问题。
有理由开发和测试旨在满足这一重要群体心理健康需求的干预措施。
