Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about usefulness of the online patient grief tutorial in bereaved adults with Prolonged Grief Disorder who are receiving psychotherapy treatment for it. The main question it aims to answer is how helpful the tutorial was and how much therapists and clients liked it.

Participants will be given access to the online tutorial for use during their talk therapy treatment. Participants will be asked to complete surveys before starting the treatment and after its completion to provide information about their symptoms and feedback about the tutorial.

Web Based Patient Tutorial on Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy

The patient tutorial will contain 9 modules, each designed to be used flexibly in conjunction with Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) telehealth sessions with the therapist. Each module takes about 15-30 minutes to complete. The patient tutorial consists of information about grief and adaptation to loss, including a description of seven healing milestones that are the focus of PGDT and an explanation of prolonged grief and how to understand it. In addition, the tutorial has descriptions of the procedure, goals and rationale for a series of in-session therapeutic exercises to be undertaken with the therapist, as well as descriptions and encouragement to participate in interim therapeutic activities (i.e., "homework") assigned by the therapist after each treatment session. The tutorial also contains a self-assessment component for each module that can be completed by the patient and shared with the therapist.
