A Guide to Setting up a College Bereavement Group: Using Monologue, Soliloquy, and Dialogue
Prior, Alexandra
Journal of College Student Psychotherapy, v29 n2 p111-119 2015
Childhood grief disrupts and reshapes a developing child's primary attachments, emotional regulation system, and identity formation. Bereft college students have to build their grief identity simultaneously with their social, academic, vocational, and sexual identities. This article describes a bereavement group to help students work on these developmental tasks. Providing long-term conversationally structured grief groups in a college counseling center provides support for college students' adjustment and identity development.
