The integrated process model of loss and grief - An interprofessional understanding.

Abstract in brief

• The text discusses how existing grief models often focus narrowly on death and overlook other types of loss, as well as the emotional and existential suffering involved.
• It critiques the dominance of psychological research that emphasizes pathological grief and highlights the need for a more interdisciplinary approach.
• The authors propose an Integrated Process Model (IPM) that considers five dimensions of grief—physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual—aimed at enhancing understanding and support across various fields.]
