title = "Bridging inner and outer worlds: A psychodynamic approach to meaningful mourning",
abstract = "In this chapter, I suggest to combine so-called constructional models of mourning, with object relational theory (Ogden 2000, 2005; Melzer 2008) to develop a more adequate theoretical framework and model to work with in counselling. The first perspective emphasizes an active construction of reality; the second adds the impact of important attachment relationships during the construction of these representations of reality. My main argument is that intra-psychic models to understand mourning or effectively support mourning people do not suffice. Not only may individuals with different temperaments respond very differently to “similar” losses, but depending on one{\textquoteright}s specific personal situation and on the cultural context in which one is embedded the impact of particular kinds of loss can vary greatly.",
