The grief memoir is a fast-developing genre that in recent decades has become a popular form of public mourning and self-therapy in many Western cultures, especially in the United States and Great Britain. We surveyed 76 helping professionals to assess if the grief memoir is a genre with which they are familiar and whether they employ such narratives as an adjunct in their work with the bereaved. Most bibliotherapeutic studies focus either on self-help or affective literature. This study is unique in evaluating a life writing genre which promises to combine the therapeutic benefits of both.
悲伤回忆录是一种快速发展的文学体裁，在近几十年里，它在许多西方文化中，尤其是在美国和英国，已成为一种流行的公众哀悼和自我治疗形式。我们调查了76名助人专业人士，以评估他们是否熟悉悲伤回忆录这种体裁，以及他们在与丧亲者的工作中是否将这类叙事作为辅助手段。大多数阅读疗法研究要么侧重于自助书籍，要么侧重于情感类文学作品。本研究的独特之处在于评估一种有望兼具两者治疗益处的生活写作体裁。
