Abstract

Prolonged Grief Disorder comes with complex stages that tests the resilience of both the therapist and the client. This case study aims to showcase how an eclectic approach using gestalt therapy and positive psychology can be beneficial in identifying the complex emotions and disentangling them from mental postulates using REBT techniques to address Prolonged Grief Disorder. The subjective interpretation of loss has guided the use of various therapeutic modalities to move from one stage to the next in therapeutic process. In socio-cultural context, this case study illuminated how reconnecting with the “cultural roots” has brought drastic changes in the course of the treatment for clients representing Indian diaspora.
